Singer-songwriter MRLD recently shared a post on social media announcing that she is now an independent artist.
In the post, MRLD described the start of her 2026 as a difficult period, saying she experienced conflicts with people she had previously worked with. She also spoke about the emotional toll of the situation, mentioning the “tears,” “frustration,” and “sadness” she felt in recent days.
Despite this, the artist expressed gratitude to those who supported her during her time with O/C Records. She thanked the staff and emphasized that she did not want her message to sound ungrateful or resentful.
MRLD also stated that she is “now an independent artist” and said she looks forward to releasing her own music and fully receiving the results of her hard work moving forward.
However, O/C Records said exclusively that the announcement was not mutually agreed upon and came as a surprise to the label, adding that MRLD’s recording and exclusive management contracts remain in effect.
In a statement shared with MYX, O/C Records said that both her recording deal and exclusive management contract are “still in full effect.”
“We’re a bit surprised that she posted something like this when in fact we’ve been constantly reminding her about this,” they shared.
