Jesy Nelson has reportedly left her record label just 14 months after signing with them.

The singer signed onto major record label Polydor who handle a variety of successful artists including Sam Fender and Billie Eilish. This was following Jesy's shocking split from girl group Little Mix in December 2020.

A music source told how Jesy has decided to make a clean break and "start afresh whilst everyone was still friends."Nelson released one single in October 2021, Boyz, which featured American rap icon, Nicki Minaj. The tune reached number four in the UK Singles Chart. However, fans awaiting the singer's debut solo album have been navigating some delays in the process.

In June, Jesy addressed rumours that the delays were due to record executives being "unimpressed" with early versions of her songs. The singer posted on her Instagram that the album delay was "absolutely nothing to be worried about" and insisted it was almost finished.Discussing Jesy's departure from the music label, the source said:"Jesy decided it was the right time for her to make a clean break. She and the label have been going in different directions in recent months."

"And whilst there hasn't been a fall-out; Jesy just felt it was better to start afresh now - whilst everyone was still friends."

They continued:

"She enjoyed her time with Polydor - but feels, rather than go on together whilst having such differing musical ideas for the future, she now wants to be able to develop fully her own ideas as an individual artist."

A representative for the Romford-native said: "Jesy feels now is the right for her to move in a new direction. As a result, she has decided to part company with Polydor."

Polydor has also said: "Polydor have amicably parted ways with Jesy. We have enjoyed working with her and everyone at the label wishes her nothing but the best for the future."
