[2008-09-06] Team change and other news!

[wmedia]

The latest news on http://www.rcamusic.fr was posted 30/07/2008 (a news aboute Leona Lewis)

And the Alizée consert in paris is not listed in the consert section, so I think something is in the air with RCA france.

August is the month where nothing happens in France, so that doesn't mean much.
The last news announcement (about Lili) was may 6th.

Yes, it's the same brave guy. He deserves a medal!

Yes, unfortunately it maybe be that the "shake-up" has diverted attention from properly promoting Alizée, especially recently. I read that BMG took a number of artists in France with them when they split or is going to. Alizée could have been among those I guess. But it seems she's staying with Sony instead. I suppose that's a good thing. Who knows?

It is known that Bertelsmann wants to pull out of the record business.
That's going on for a long time and no secret.

But till now there is nothing (not even a rumour) going around to support that to something concrete.

So the move to Jive/Epic as suggested, is still a persistent rumour imho.

Hopefully is the word. She could get less promotion under a new label.

wow i can't believe thats happening to RCA, I hope it's not a sign for things to come

A few points of clarification and commentary:

-I don't know if RCA is shutting down worldwide or only in France, but it's probably just the later.

-Aside from the management team change, this shouldn't really effect Alizée overseas in places like Mexico or potentially the United States, since there she's always just been with "Sony BMG", no sub-label.

- While this will hopefully be good for Alizée in the end, I Personally find it a bit hard to be so happy over what amounts to news of restructuring and layoffs. Some may say they deserve it, but as others have mentioned this could actually be an explanation for the lack of promotion. Apparently their fate has been in question for some time. It wouldn't make sense to be promoting a lot when you think you might close shop in a few months.

-The good news is that Lili will be back soon with new stuff!

Till so far I can't find anything of any party to be official.
Not even the slightest rumour...
The only source is AFC/Le Nid.

Nice hoax?

Yes I know... so?
Still nothing to find in the jungle out there. Zip.
I like to see some more proof first.
