Look, if you will not keep producing, regardless of the reasons, then you are no longer an artist, and you are not productive.

She is or was under a contract - otherwise we wouldn't have IYD. Sure, LB finally went indie. But, not overnight. He shopped for a label. He only decided to go indie when no one was interested.

I'm just saying it's not as cut & dried as you're making it out to be. You can't just snap your fingers & put something out necessarily - if she is a free agent then maybe. But, as FM to go from big label & big advance & all the other perks they were used to - to settle for something less - I can see how that transition would be a difficult thing to negotiate & adjust to.
