How very George Michael of her!
Joss Stone is dying to be released from her record contract with EMI!
So much so that the fucks-for-tracks singer is willing to cough up almost $4 million of her own money to her label!
EMI have shot down Stone’s deal and in return are threatening legal action against the Brit songstress. The label claims Joss is in breach of contract because she never handed over the master tapes for her new album, Colour Me Free, by the December 2008 deadline.
For shame!
Stone believes that EMI would not promote her album properly and wants to buy it back and release Colour Me Free on her own accord. The label was bought out by a private equity firm back in 2007 and promptly slashed the label’s budget because of lagging album sales.
“Joss has completely lost faith in EMI. It├óΓé¼Γäós all pie charts and products and there├óΓé¼Γäós no creativity. She has no working relationship with them and no confidence they will support her or market her album properly,” a friend of Stone’s shared with the media.
The source continued: “She├óΓé¼Γäós actually prepared to pay ├é┬ú2million for her freedom ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ that├óΓé¼Γäós how bad it is. She wants to give back this money from her advance to EMI so that she can get out of the deal. Then she├óΓé¼Γäóll release the album some other way.”
Good luck with that!
