“#Morrissey and BMG Part Ways<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Morrissey is no longer signed to BMG<\/a>, the label that released his three latest albums, he revealed in a statement<\/a> on Morrissey Central yesterday (November 16). The singer-songwriter, who has generated a slew of political controversies in the past decade, blamed the label\u2019s \u201cnew plans for \u2018diversity\u2019\u201d and claimed the label \u201cdictates\u201d how artists should behave, without citing evidence specific to his relationship with the company. In a statement to Pitchfork, BMG said it would not renew his contract but will continue to support the parts of his catalog it represents.<\/p>\n

Its statement reads:<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
BMG has released three exceptional Top 10 albums from Morrissey over the past three years, including some of the best work of his career. That three album deal has now come to an end. We wish him well in the next chapter of his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In his statement, Morrissey wrote: \u201cBMG have app<\/a>ointed a new Executive who does not want another Morrissey album. Instead, the new BMG Executive has announced new plans for \u2018diversity\u2019 within BMG\u2019s artist roster, and all projected BMG Morrissey releases\/reissues have been scrapped. This news<\/a> is perfectly in keeping with the relentless galvanic horror of 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n

We would be critically insane to expect anything positive. My three albums with BMG have been the best of my career, and I stand by them till death. Recording them has been a pivotal period in my life, and I thank the previous BMG team and everyone involved for that. It\u2019s still important to me to do music my own way, and I wouldn\u2019t want to be on a label that dictates so specifically how their artists should behave\u2014especially when the word \u2018talent\u2019 is notably never mentioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BMG released Morrissey\u2019s Low in High School<\/em> in 2017, the collaboration-packed covers album California Son<\/em> last year, and, in March, I Am Not a Dog on a Chain<\/em>.<\/p>\n
