Jesy Nelson in talks with new record labels to sign fresh deal after split with Polydor
JESY Nelson is in talks with new record labels to sign a fresh deal – just days after she walked away from Polydor.
The former Little Mix star split from the label last week after they struggled to agree on the direction her solo music was going in.
Music insiders have now revealed Jesy, 31, is already in demand from a number of other labels who are keen to get her on board.
A source said: “Jesy is being courted by labels who are interested in getting her on board.
“There are some independent labels who believe they could help her return to form – and give her the freedom she clearly desires.
“Jesy is really proud of the music she has been making and she knows exactly what she wants when it comes to her sound.

“She isn’t going to rush into anything but she’s had a couple of meetings and is excited about the future.”
The Sun exclusively revealed on Friday how Jesy had split with Polydor after just over a year together.
A source said at the time: “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 while there hasn’t been a fall-out, Jesy just felt it was better to start afresh now – while everyone was still friends.

“Jesy enjoyed her time with Polydor – but feels, rather than go on together while having such differing musical ideas for the future, she now wants to be able to fully develop her own ideas as an individual artist.”
A second music insider added: “Jesy loves the music she has been working on and is really proud of it.
“She has been working hard in Los Angeles and is determined to get it out there and make a success of her solo music.”
A spokesman for Jesy said: “Jesy Nelson feels now is the right for her to move in a new direction. As a result, she has decided to part company with Polydor.”
A spokeswoman for Polydor added: “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.”
