Perrie Edwards Parts Ways with Manager and Record Label After 15-Year Journey

PERRIE Edwards has parted ways with Sony and Modest Management after 15 years, sources tell The Sun.

Insiders said the singer was offered the chance to make her second record with Colombia, but has turned them down to start anew.

I’m told Perrie, 33, is now joining the same team behind stars including , 31, Rose Gray, 29, and Melanie C, 52, Various Artists Management.

A source said: “This is a hugely exciting new chapter in Perrie’s solo career.

“She is assembling a new team around her as she begins work on her second album.”

Perrie’s self-titled debut record peaked at No3 last year and delivered her first ever Top Ten solo single with Forget About Us.

An insider added: “Perrie has come away from her first solo campaign with an even clearer sense of the artist she wants to be and the creative direction she wants to explore next.

“She was offered the opportunity to make her second album with Columbia, but after more than a decade with Sony and Modest Management, she felt the time was right for a change across her career and a fresh start as she moves into this next era.

“Perrie is so grateful to everyone at Columbia, Sony and Modest for their support and hard work over the years and is proud of everything they have achieved together, both during her time with Little Mix and as she launched her solo career.

“After making that transition, Perrie now feels confident and excited about taking greater ownership of the team she builds around herself and the creative direction of her second album.”

Perrie teased her new era earlier this summer, after releasing new single Passenger Princess.

She said: “I love the lyrics. I think it’s so relatable, it’s just fun.

“I love it so much and it’s the closing of the Perrie era. So this is like the end of the campaign, so to speak. OK, yes, we’re closing it.”

She added: “I know the vibe (of the new era). I know what I want, I know the direction. I just need to get it all in order.”
