Do You Think A Change Of Label Would Improve Britney's Career?

[Britnoy]

RCA/Sony hasn't made too much to promote Britney or any of their artists.
IMHO, nowadays is one of the most weak labels who doesn't know how to rightly manage their artists. 

I think Britney should move on to Interscope/Universal, an independent label that can give her the freedom she needs in her projects or even found her own label and can do whatever she wants without anyone bossing her. 

[CIRCUS]

I agree that RCA is one of the worst labels nowadays and I kinda wish she left them and signed a new contract with another label, but it also depends on how much she wants it and we all know Brit's career isn't her priority right now...

[Neydelina]

she needs to change things if she wants to make music/albums even just for fun

 

this is just not going to work anymore

[I_need_me]

Yes. I feel like she needs a label that listens to what she wants to do musically, knows how to promote her and at the same time "pushes" her to promote more!

I know she doesn't want to promote but her label hasn't helped either.

I mean, you don't need an artist to promote their music.

There's artists out there who barely go to TV shows to perform or give interviews and their music is working good and their fans are happy with it.

They hasn't spent almost any money in promoting her music in billboards, radio, TV, web ads, social networks and that stuff. 

And is obvious they aren't letting Britney get involved in her music. They prob contact a few producers & get some demos and call Britney to record them and that's it.

It's like they expect get good results with a low budget & lack of promo and that's not gonna happen.

It's sad see an artist that has been more than 15 years in the business not getting any freedom to pull out what it wants.

How many times they have rejected Britney's ideas & change the whole album at the last minute...?

They're the ones to blame for the floppage Britney has been getting lately and not Britney or the GP/fans.

Yeah, just like I said she should change her label because RCA is pure shit now and do nothing to promote their artists or don't give them enough freedom to do whatever they like or go into direction and sound they would like their music to be. But I don't think it's all her label's fault, I mean if she said them that she wants to promote - why wouldn't they let her and say no? It's an absurd. I get what you're trying to say and maybe if she had a choice on what's going to be her next single/album then she'd do that but I honestly feel like she doesn't give a damn about it anymore and probably record new music just for fun. So yep, a label that could actually put money into her music and quality or promoting is a great idea, especially when she herself won't promote like the old days. She shouldn't be destroying her legacy by releasing whatever the label tells her to do just for the sake of it, because this is not right. 

[heather]

She needs to drop the labels and business bullshit altogether and just create the music she wants without anyone telling her what to do tbh

[Dragneel]

It's not all on the label tbh. Yes they don't listen to her opinion and they don't give her freedom. However, I doubt if Britney ever demanded that. Now that she doesn't crave for success she can make any choice she wants and if her choices require a change of labels then she should do it.

But I can't blame the labels for her lack of attitude and involvement because they have always cared ONLY about money and that is not gonna change now...

She could do the whole album on her own and only present it to her label when it's finished. It's not like she couldn't afford to pay the studio and producers on her own.

I agree. She was the one who fought for Toxic and Everytime to be released.

And that runs the risk of wasting all that time and money only to be told no by her label. If Britney wants to create a project that is completely her, she either needs a label that will respect her artistry or do it 100% by herself. Which, let's be honest, won't happen until Britney finds more passion for what she does again. Which is cool too, she's got other priorities than her career and I understand that.

The thing is, they have multiple ways of getting that album released if the label says no (example: free download, search another label to release it, release it as streaming-only, etc.). The label should at least give it a try - release a single and see the reaction. If they released Britney Jean, an album that wasn't as good as her other albums, they could release something close to her heart. It's not like it can go worse than that album   BTW, I don't hate BJ, I just think it wasn't as good.

RCA liked Britney Jean. Remember how highly they spoke of perfume? Relying on a label to release an album Britney 100% wants is too risky. We could end up with another original doll, and I stand by what I've said already. Besides, she can't go shop an album around to other labels while still in contract with RCA. I'm sure that's against her contract and she'd be sued. Unless, of course, she buys her contract out. Which she definitely won't do. So, at the end of the day none of our opinions really matter until this new contract is up

I thought she was at one point was going to make her own label   the plans were obviously scrapped now

She said that years ago. Tbh she really should create her own label, and perhaps she will do that in the future.

Ya  If she did, she might release the Original Doll  or really good music which she truly cares about

I know. They were saying it could be a career-changing song. I agree that she probably can't shop an album like that, I just mentioned it because artists have done that in the past without problem (and in the past I mean decades ago  ). But they could at least give her the chance to try. 

[ValetGirls]

I completely agree, she needs to dump RCA. I watched one of the most promising indie bands of the 00s, the Strokes, totally get mismanaged to the point where the members hated each other and the label and their output really suffered as a result; on Pitchfork.com (the biggest indie/music reviewer), their album's reviews steadily got worse and worse, going from their debut's stellar 9.1 (out of 10.0), then the next album an 8.0, then two 5.9 albums, and their last one a slightly better 6.1. Thankfully, their 5-album record deal expired with 2013's Comedown Machine, they left RCA and now they've reconciled with each other and will be releasing new music soon.

 

RCA is toxic tbh

[BlackoutEgo]

Freedom is not what puts her out there .. Its the marketting and promotion that does that job. RCA fails at meating marketting and promotion standards they do a real poor job at it . Its either that or they are just greedy with the money and dont want to invest in promoting which clearly effect the artist and Britney herself

Jive records was EXCELLENT for the marketting and promotion standard like they went beyond it for their artists and they didnt care because there artists made them so much money in return .

I honestly think Britney should move to a different label that will actually market and promote her like a label should

The thing is RCA's marketting & promotion sucks.. They dont want to invest alot of the money in M&P as u can see with all of their artists not just with Britney

If Britney wanted to get out of her contract right now she actually could because she still hasnt put out a new album based on the new contract deal she signed .. If she did put out an album while there deal was in place then yes she most definitely could get sued or she can just buy out her contract (which she clearly can afford lol)

I agree, I definitely don't think RCA is the right label for Britney, but at the end of the day she signed a contract with them and unless she buys it out, she's stuck.

[JonHardy!]

It could be...but deep down I feel like they promote a lot more but it's Britney who doesnt want to. She has clearly stated that she has other priorities....so considering that, I doubt a change in label would make that much difference.

[James]

and let people who join her label flop?

I could see Britney, once fully retired. really taking on the label/manger role for new artists. She might not have been the best judge on x factor but she was a perfect mentor.

I'm sure there's so many labels interested in had Britney with them that could pay anything for the contract.
