I was inspired by Taylor Swift to split from record label and will release a new album this year, says Olly Murs

thesun.co.uk:

AFTER I revealed Olly had parted ways with his record label, the star tells me is now obsessively thinking about his next move – and planning a new record later this year alongside a new deal.

He explains: “I haven't stopped thinking about it. I am really excited actually. “It was an amazing 12 years at Sony. It was an amazing journey, but it’s not unusual for people to move on.  “I look at it like a football club.

I had a great relationship with them, but the contract came to an end and they had one vision for me and I had another vision – so we just said we will part and go our separate ways. “They were happy.

I was happy. I wanted change really – I kind of felt I had achieved everything I wanted to achieve.  “I just needed a fresh project and fresh blood and fresh enthusiasm, and it’s exciting to have so much interest from other labels. “I have been working on music but I have be.” He adds: “I haven't really done a proper album for about five years as the last album was a greatest hits – actually that was when we didn't really agree. “I didn't really want to do that album and they did, I didn’t think I was ready, but I did it as it was part of my contract. “I’ve had many hits I've not been around long enough and I feel like I still have a lot more to give.
