Kylie Minogue quits Jay Z’s Roc Nation
By Josh Haggis
Kylie Minogue has announced that she has left Jay Z’s Roc Nation.
The legendary Aussie entertainer, who first signed with the Roc Nation management back in 2013, has explained in a statement that following the lackluster reception of Kiss Me Once, she wants to “shake things up” for future projects.
“I’ve had an amazing time with Roc Nation and it’s been fantastic to team up with them over the last two years. We got together at a period in my life when I wanted to shake things up,” said Minogue.
She continued: “I loved collaborating with Roc on the Kiss Me Once album, world tour and DVD and have made great friends in the process. I’m now looking forward to my upcoming Summer gigs and embarking on new adventures.”
“And I want to thank everyone at Roc Nation who have been on this incredible ride with me,” added the singer.
Kiss Me Once – the only album released during her partnership with Roc Nation – became a commercial disappointment when it was released last year. Although it charted at Number Two in the UK, the album went on to sell less than 70,000 copies, and both singles failed to chart in the Top Ten.
Meanwhile, echoing the album’s commercial performance, Kylie admitted recently that “maybe Kiss Me Once wasn’t good enough” – find out more here.
