JEWEL DUMPS RECORD LABEL
Pop folk singer JEWEL has dumped her record label and plans on releasing three quirky new albums alone.

The Alaskan singer believes it's an "interesting time" not to have a record deal and decided to ditch Atlantic Records as she completes work on a country album, a lullaby project and a series of romantic ballads inspired by COLE PORTER.
She says, "It's a lot harder for (labels) to make their bottom lines, and I think they're trying to... make their money in different ways. And the artist is going to suffer for it.
"So I'm not re-signing right now, 'cause I want to wait and see what the environment is like."
Atlantic bosses are putting together a hits compilation, set for release in 2007, and Jewel says she's using the opportunity to focus on projects that are especially meaningful.
She explains, "I've been wanting to do a country record my whole career and now might be a good time to do it."
Jewel insists she's "writing all the time" and has two other recording projects in the works - a collection of lullabies and an album of original songs written in the style of songwriting legend Porter.
