Just days after rumors swirled that Jennifer Lopez was being released from her Sony Music/Epic Records recording contract, she’s going on record about the situation. Through a statement released today (February 24), Jennifer confirms the reports, calling the split a mutual decision between both parties.
“I am making this statement to put an end to any confusion in regards to my next album, titled ‘Love?’ I have belonged to the Sony family since the beginning of my career as a singer and together we’ve had great success,” the statement read. “I have fulfilled my contractual responsibilities with Sony/Epic up to this point, and we have both reached friendly terms about my departure from the label.”
Jennifer’s statement also confirms reports that she is already signed to a new label, though she did not mention which one. It’s rumored Jenny is making Island Def Jam her new recording home. Island Def Jam is the home of major industry players like Kanye West, Rihanna, Ne-Yo and Mariah Carey.
Her first duty under her new label will be the release of her new album, Love?, which is set for summer 2010.
