Speech Debelle Quits Label Over Sales Row

The 2009 Mercury Prize winner Speech Debelle has quit her record label after blaming the company for failing to capitalise on her album's artistic success. According to the singer, Big Dada -- a subsidiary of London-based label Ninja Tune -- failed to get enough copies of the album into record shops the weekend immediately after her win."The Mercury Prize was on a Tuesday, and the Friday there were no more physical albums in the shops.
"So on the Mercury weekend, which would have been my biggest selling weekend, people couldn't get it," Speech told BBC 6 Music.
She added: "I wasn't disappointed that it didn't sell well, I was disappointed in the people I was working with."
In the aftermath of her victory the album, 'Speech Therapy,' reached 65 in the charts before plummeting to 90 the week after. However, according to the singer, online retailer Amazon had reported a 4000% increase in demand for the album which she said proved her label weren't getting enough copies of the album out into the marketplace.
"I wasn't on a big label and the machine wasn't there," she continued. "So even though the album won the Mercury it was still only able to do what the label was capable of doing, which just means that I'm more prepared for next time."
Speech is about to start work on 'Speech Therapy''s follow up with producer Wayne Lo-Tek and will feature contributions from MC Rodney P and Faithless vocalist Maxi Jazz. She also hopes to have a new deal in place early next year.

Daily Dose of Style is back in full swing and ready to tackle on new fashion dilemmas, season standouts and much more! Today, let's take on a personal issue of mine. The problem: I'm in a wardrobe rut and have been for the past several weeks. You ever have those periods of time where you hate everything in your closet, or absolutely bored of it? Ugh! And since I'm still recovering from my holiday spending (ahem, over-spending), I can't just splurge on new clothes to solve my apparel angst. The solution: Layering! Playing with layers can produce outfits for you that feel totally new. I have to admit I haven't mastered this form of art yet. I need to schedule some playtime in my closet in fact. Look below. This is what I'm taking about. Topping your old dress with a cardigan, vest and scarf updates a once-drab dress... and makes the outfit all the more interesting! How do you layer? Tell me below! Stay tuned by the way for voguetouch Shopping's Guide to Layering coming in February!
