Terri Walker - Reports She's Been DROPPED.
Reports are flying that Terri Walker, a newcomer to the UK R&B curcuit has been dumped by her label, Mercury. I think she's a wonderful vocalist but I'm not suprised - she's been flopping for a while, now. It's not her fault entirely, the label were over cautious with her and I don't think they put everything behind her. It's a real shame if indeed she has been dropped.
The critics adore her but the public never really took to her for one reason or another. I must stress I've only read REPORTS of her being dropped and it's all rumours but as I say I won't be suprised if it's true. |

Her album didn't sell simply because she didn't get the 100% backing from the record company. If they put her out there more, it would have selled a little better. Thing is, her latest album isn't that bad.

I would imagine it's starting to become more difficult to sell R&B records now, since the industry has become so saturated. There's a "new" R&B song born every minute.

"Whoopsie Daisy" I think it was called and I think it limped in the charts around #80! God it was bad. The follow up, which I don't think was even released in the end, was even worse.
At least people then know theres a new album out by a certain artist. How can you say putting artists out there doesn't help? TOTP appearences, CD:UK... it gets people interested in the single and therefore check out the album to see if its much cop. If you don't know the artist has released a new album, you wouldn't buy it now, would you? Reviews, articles... they all add up the total record sales. Terri Walker is in fact, quite talented, the album is Ok, its just a shame nobody knows who this woman is.

Apparently Terri's not been dropped, Terri said that both her and the record company realised that they weren't doing what each other wanted. Its a real shame to be honest but now there is a chance that a record company who cares will take her on. Its just annoying that LOVE, which is a fantastic album, will be lost in the process

Never heard of her.
If she's a young r n b artist the market's flooded with em. All look the same, all sound the same. |
