NEWS: Annie Leaves Island Records

European pop singer, Annie has announced her departure from Island Records. The singer announced the end of their partnership in a post on her MySpace page where she indicated a huge part of her leaving the label had to do with it’s reluctance to give her newest album “Don’t Stop” an official release date.

Read Annies statement after the break:

Also had a meeting with Island record last week. I..ve been bit upset, cuz they never wanted to come up with a release date of ..Don..t stop’. I think it..s a great label, but I never felt they were that positive to my ideas…so we decided that we..re not gonna work together anymore. After Nick Gatfield, who was the head of Island left the label…a couple of months after I signed, things changed. I’m an artist with lots of ideas, plans…so I..m gonna do things my own way from now on.
At least there will be much more Annie records/songs coming out next year then 2008…Already very first week of 2009,I..m coming out with a song called ÁNTHONIO.. that I hope you..ll be into….it..s gonna be out on Richard X..s label…so watch out!!!
I think Island are great…it just wasn..t the place for me……..no hard feelings, the show will go on……the Annie caravan will keep on moving, and the dogs..ll keep on barking:-)
