Garth Brooks to release new album on his own label
Country superstar Garth Brooks has parted ways with bosses at RCA Nashville because he can no longer generate enough income for big record companies.
The singer released his 2014 project Man Against Machine through RCA Nashville, but he is now planning to unveil his next solo album on his independent Pearl Records, a company he founded in the early 1990s.
He tells The Tennessean, "I've always enjoyed being part of a team. I think you can always be part of something bigger with a team than you can be by yourself. Would I love to be part of a label group? Sure I would. But with the new streaming income now, I can't make them money."
The news emerges five months after Brooks, who is currently on tour, revealed he was delaying the release of his next album because he needs more time to work on his songwriting. The star is now planning to release the album this autumn (16), in addition to a Christmas project with his wife Trisha Yearwood.
Meanwhile, Brooks tells the publication he is also trying to secure a streaming deal with "one of the biggest partners in the world", while his GhostTunes digital platform may also be purchased by a bigger firm.
Man Against Machine was Garth's first studio album since 2001 after he took time off to focus on raising his daughters.
