The Canadian singer has not released an album since 2007 and has an untitled LP waiting for release for more than a year.
The 26-year-old took to Twitter to voice her frustration with label RCA, writing, 'I'm done with my 4th record!!! Well, actually I have been done for a year... and now my record company have finally decided to release it. OMG (oh my God).. How nice! Thanks guys.
'I have been dying to get back out on the road and do what I love the most... PLAY MUSIC. I know you guys have been waiting for a long time... and so have I, but not by choice. I have been sitting with this record for a year now.
'This has been a really difficult record for me to create and to release. Not only is this the most meaningful and special record I have written, it is sincere, honest and close to my heart. But for the first time I experienced a bunch of bureaucratic BS (bulls**t). People do their best work when they are doing what they want, love, and is natural for them, not when you are forcing them to be something that they are not.'
