Here’s what Jenny from the block had to say about her recent split with Sony: Let’s talk about your split with Sony. Was it friendly?
Totally. We knew some people would try to paint a negative picture, but the split wasn’t negative at all. I gave them seven albums and fulfilled my contract, and had tremendous successes — over 40 million records. It was time for something new, a fresh start.
It was hard to leave — Sony Epic was my whole history. But in my heart, I knew it was time, and that maybe a fresh team and fresh blood were what was required. All the people I’d worked with at Sony were gone; it was all new people I had no history with.
At Island Def Jam, we’re going to work on finishing this album. Stuff I’d been performing here and there will be on it, the dance cuts previously released. And new stuff. We’re aiming for end of summer, but it’ll be when it’s ready.
Well if Def Jam doesn’t work, Jennifer
could always sign on to comedy, she did a good job on SNL!
