As expected. Though things change. If sales are on-par with the bigger more-established acts, maybe HWR will make her a very generous deal?

Though I expect her to be like J.Lo, and do a couple lead film roles between albums.

That is exactly what she used to say so I'm not surprised she's sticking by that claim for now. It's weird though because she's never been more hands-on with any of her albums.

A J.Lo like deal would be cool though. Maybe focus on films from mid 2014 - mid 2016 and release another album in 2017.

Kinda expected this, I hope she doesn't quit for good

It better serve justice then! Coming for that 1st Top 10 hit

and hopefully first #1 album

Why would this be expected though? Someone fill me in.

She needs to rethink this

Expected. She just doesn't have the star power to shift the record sales like the others girls.

Get those sales.

Her last album with HWR and she clearly stated she wants to focus on acting.

I hope the album does well if it's her last.

Thing is she actually ships more than her peers and is far more consistent

Her acting career is going to last longer than her music career so this is a smart move.

So she'll be getting back together with The Scene after this album?

No doubt about that. But, with 3 and now an upcoming 4th album out she hasn't achieved the success of Britney or Rihanna.

Why does she want to retire? I don't get it.

The Scene isn't a real band to "get back with". They were just her live band. No creative involvement.

I don't think anyone can on that label

She can't do that omg.... I'm going to cry...
