For the first time in more than 40 years in the music business, Rod is without a record label and it seems he is not that bothered.
Rod saw most of his chart-topping albums released via Warner Bros. but has spent the last decade on the J Records roster reinterpreting the Great American Songbook. Now that his contract is up, Rod told The Hollywood Reporter he’s enjoying the freedom.
“I love my ex-boss Clive Davis and everyone who works at J, but these days it’s hard,” said Rod “My daughter just finished her first album and I keep trying to explain to her that record companies are only interested in the bottom line, they’re not interested in longevity or an artist’s career. You’re only as good as your last single or album.”
