The practice has become all too common.
:"v v tired of this industry clipping the wings of talented people of color and driving them to LOSE CONFIDENCE in what got them here in the first place. it's not cool, and something needs to give." In solidarity, Shura tweeted:"I'm so over this being even remotely legal to do to artists." Shura also noted that exploitative practices aren't exclusively a major label problem:"I've signed to a major label. I've signed to an indie.
I asked Jonathan Larr, entertainment attorney at Icarus Law and a former artist manager, to shed some light. He said that Raye's situation isn't something he's seen before:"It defies common sense. Why would a label hold onto an artist that wasn't doing well enough for them to release an album? One way that I can tell that this isn't common is that this situation isn't mentioned in standard major label deal language.
So what recourse do artists have, if they find themselves in this situation?"One solution is a buy-out. The artist can buy out the contract for 115% or so of their advance, and end the contract whenever they want." This is obviously an expensive course of action, and one that may not have been available to Raye. Raye has a four-album deal , and over the course of her seven years at Polydor, she has probably accrued debt to her label through making music videos and studio time.
