Raye and Polydor part ways after album dispute

Raye has parted ways with Polydor.

The ‘Tequila’ singer recently claimed the record label had stopped her from releasing her debut album since 2014.

The 24-year-old singer – who released a nine-track mini-album ‘Euphoric Sad Songs’ in November 2020 – shared a series of emotional tweets and alleged that she was waiting to be given the green light to put out a full-length LP if her latest single, ‘Call On Me’, does well in the charts.

She wrote last month: “I have been signed to a major label since 2014… and I have had albums on albums of music sat in folders collecting dust, songs I am now giving away to A list artists because I am still awaiting confirmation that I am good enough to release an album.

“For context, in order for an album to be created, the label has to release money for songs to be finished, fees for producers, mixes, masters and marketing support etc…

“I have waited 7 years for this day and I am still waiting… So now I’m being told if Call On Me does well then I can do my album but there can’t be a green light until….

“Imagine the PRESSURE of me waking up every day frantically looking at numbers and stats hoping that I can just make MY BLOODY FIRST ALBUM

“I know this is the kind of thing I’m suppose to keep behind closed doors, but I have worked and waited and hustled and given EVERYthing I have and if I am going to suffer I am NOT going to do it in silence anymore (sic)”
