After a long legal battle with her label Roadrunner Records to get dropped, Amanda Palmer announced yesterday that she has been released from her contract. In celebration, Amanda is very pleased to be able to – for the first time since the year 2003 – offer you a brand new and previously unreleased song for download from her house to yours….legally and free of charge. For background, to read the lyrics, get the scoop on the free track’s name and more, click here.
“…as many of you know, i’ve been fighting very, very hard to get off the label for the better part of two years. for the past seven years, anything i have written and recorded (solo or with my band, The Dresden Dolls) has technically been owned and under the ultimate control of the label, but no longer. after endless legal bullshit, it’s over, i’ve been DROPPED, RELEASED, LET GO, whatever you wanna call it. in other words: i am FREE AT LAST!!!!!! RAAHH!!”
