Jaheim has ditched career-home Warner Music for a deal with Atlantic Records.

“This is a milestone project for me, which reflects on changes and growth in my personal and professional life,” Jaheim tells Billboard Magazine. “I produced and wrote half of the album. I’m just focused.”

“I’m with people that understand the market — no disrespect to anyone over there [Warner Bros.],” Jaheim said. “At this point in my career, I need a company that understands and they [Atlantic] are taking me to a whole new level.”
