Alesha Dixon parts ways with Asylum/Atlantic records

Pop singer and Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon has parted ways with her record label Asylum/Atlantic Records due "creative differences". I'm kinda finding that hard to believe, because I think she got dropped. A statement was posted on her official website, Alesha's manager confirmed the split.

Alesha would like to announce that after discussions with her record label, Asylum/Atlantic, we have decided not to extend her recording contract.

It became clear during our discussions that both Alesha and her label had some creative differences which we were unable to resolve and it was mutually agreed that the best course of action for both parties was to part company on good terms.

Alesha would like to thank Asylum records for their support and hard work over the past 2 albums and wish them all the best going forward.

We are currently in discussions with other labels and look forward to a new record in 2012.

Alesha is proud to have been Asylum Records first platinum selling artist and to have delivered them their first international success with “The Boy Does Nothing” which has now sold almost 1 million copies worldwide and was a top 10 hit in 20 countries.

Alesha’s released her second album "The Entertainer" last year and was a commercial failure, charting at #84 in the UK. So, a lot of us saw it coming.
