Pop stars are voicing frustrations wiht their record labels. Months after Halsey revealed Columbia Records blocked a new album due to the underperformance of her last release, Kim Petras publicly requested a release from Republic Records.
“My album has been done for 6 months but my record label has refused to give me a release date or pay my collaborator’s for the work they’ve done,” Petras tweeted. She followed up, stating, “Oh ya I also filmed and self funded a music video over 2 months ago for my next single that they also wouldn’t give me a release date for.”
“I’m tired of having no control over my own life or career. I wont to continue to self fund and self curate my own music. This is why I have formally requested to be dropped by @RepublicRecords,” she continued.
“I won a grammy 2 years ago…….. the music is TEA. Still no support . If it’s not a tiktok trend or 80s revival queerbaiting shit these labels have no interest in supporting,” she added.
