Kelly Leaves Columbia Records!

Finally, the rumor has been confirmed; Kelly Rowland has parted ways with Columbia Records. According to E! Online, Kelly’s spilt from Columbia Records was a mutually agreed decision. Kelly disclosed that “the decision to move out on my own required a lot of soul-searching… As a solo artist, I felt the need to explore new directions, new challenges, and new freedoms outside my comfort zone and my friends and family at Columbia have been incredibly understanding about her evolution”. What’s interesting was Kelly had been allegedly schedule to release her third album sometime this year by Columbia Records. This news comes shortly after Kelly dropped Matthew Knowles as her longtime manager. At this point, “there's no word yet on what direction she's planning to go in”.
