Kelis Dropped From Jive Records

October 27th, 2007 · No Comments · Tagged as Kelis

Kelis has been dropped by Jive Records. Mrs. Jones’ 2003 album, Tasty, yielded the mega hit “Milkshake,” and was certified gold, but the album’s 2006 follow-up, Kelis Was Here, failed to make an impression on the charts.

“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. “She’s a different kind of artist — very image and style-driven. It’s either something you get or you don’t.”

Kelis was originally signed to Pharrell Williams’s Star Tracks.
