Kelis Dropped By Jive Records
It was reported today that Kelis has been dropped from Jive Records.
The singer’s 2003 album,”Tasty” had a major hit “Milkshake,” but Kelis’ 2006’s “Kelis Was Here”, had little success in the U.S.
Even though the LP had plenty of guests including a collaboration with her husband, Nas.
Kelis’ manager, Jeff Rabhan said:
“It was a case of being in the ever-shrinking world of the record industry and finding herself on a label she wasn’t signed to and without a champion,”.
“She’s a different kind of artist — very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.”
Kelis is busy working on an indie dance record with Cee-Lo at the moment.
Rabhan added:
“We’re not opposed to another major label deal, but it would have to be non-traditional,”
Kelis is also in talks to host a Project Runway-like show on VH1 and is auditioning for numerous TV and film roles”.
