In a new inter­view with Enter­tain­ment Weekly, Kel­lie Pick­ler opens up about her recent split from her record label, Sony Nashville, and why she chose to walk away. She says record­ing her lat­est album “100 Proof,” “was hell.” Kel­lie reveals, “We couldn’t agree on songs. The thing is – my life is a coun­try song. I don’t need to be man­u­fac­tured, and I don’t need any­one to tell me what to say or what to sing.” She also cites shifts within her for­mer label home as the cul­prit behind the project’s com­mer­cial back­fire. “The only con­sis­tency was incon­sis­tency,” Pick­ler said. “When my album came out, I didn’t even have a song out on the radio. Nobody does that.” Kel­lie is cur­rently on the road pro­mot­ing “100 Proof,” with dates sched­uled through the end of the year.
