Cher Lloyd talks leaving Syco, second album delays
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 13 November 2013
Cher Lloyd has been discussing the somewhat ironic delay of the release of her second album ‘Sorry I’m Late’ in an interview with Larry King. The record was due out in the US this month, but will now not emerge until next year, as she still needs to imbue the record with some “magic”.
Said Lloyd: ” My album got pushed back and I’m not happy about it. It’s all done, but I am currently in the studio for the rest of this week to try and find some more magic … I’ve still got to find that magic. I was hoping to get something to my fans sooner. I feel like it’s been way too long, but I know you can’t rush something that’s meant to be right”.
The singer is now working with Sony/Epic in the US, having signed to the company in December 2011, shortly after leaving Simon Cowell’s Sony division Syco. On this, she said: “I don’t really speak to [Cowell] anymore. I left his label a year and a half ago and I got my record deal here [in the US] … I think he found me – I wouldn’t say disobedient – but a little bit [difficult]. I have a specific thing I am reaching for, so I have my own idea of how I’m going to get it. We all have a specific thing in life that we want to get to and I don’t deal very well with people having [control]”.

Elsewhere in Cher Lloyd news, the singer appeared on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Kimmel’ this week, performing her recent single ‘I Wish’. However, rather than the recorded version’s guest rapper TI, Skee-Lo emerged on stage to do a verse from his own hit of the same name. He ended up doing most of the work, really.
