Jive Records has officially released singer Kelis from her contract with the label. Though Kelis had a major hit with her single Milkshake, none of her other songs have charted well and her overall album sales have always been lackluster. Kelis was originally signed to Pharell’s Star Traks label, which was distributed though Virgin, which was later moved to Arista and when SonyBMG merged, Kelis somehow ended up on Jive. “It was a case of being in the ever-shrinking world of the record industry and finding herself on a label she wasn’t signed to and without a champion,” says Kelis’ manager, Jeff Rabhan. Rumor has it however that Kelis won’t be out of work for long as the “Bossy” singer is in talks to host a Project Runway-like show on VH1 and is auditioning for numerous TV and film roles.
