Setting the record straight!

Jo Jo Sues her Record Company!

Jo Jo has just filed a lawsuit against her record company (Da Family Entertainment/Blackground). The singer is claiming they have put her in a musical limbo and won't let her out of her contract!This is what she had to say via her myspace blog:

"My situation is a bit a-typical. It is not a case where the artist loves the material they are making, is set in his or her ways, will not take direction or advice, and will not cooperate with the label. This is NOT the case at all. I’ve been blessed to receive great feedback from the record company in response to the music I’ve been delivering. But unfortunately I have become a victim of industry politics that honestly have nothing to do with me personally or professionally. Because of this, I am willing to fight for what I love and ultimately for the chance to regain control of my livelihood and my life."

This is really sad, they won't put out another album for her or anything! I think she's vocally more talented than half the cats in the industry right now - LOVED her first album. This is a prime example of choosing a record label VERY VERY wisely. Wish her the best!
