Jessie J is embarking on a new chapter: independence.

Full story below…

The ‘Bang Bang’ belter has been signed to UMG’s Republic Records for almost two decades and achieved seismic success – both on home soil and internationally with bops such as ‘Price Tag’ and ‘Do It Like A Dude.’

However, J has announced that she’s exiting the major label system and plans to strut forward as an independent act.

Chalking to the decision to motherhood and how it’s impacted her mindset, the Brit-bred songbird took to social media saying:

“After 17 years, I have decided to leave Republic Records.”

Unpacking the rationale for the decision, she continued:

“I have to just be honest with who I am and what I want from my career now and how I feel – and being signed just doesn’t sit with that now.

There’s no negative spin, nothing’s happened, it’s not dramatic. It’s just me saying it doesn’t feel right being signed and it hasn’t for years. So, I need to stop just trusting my instincts and act on them…”
