Cheryl’s fans have been eagerly awaiting her brand new album for AGES.

And it’s now been reported the hugely-anticipated album will be released via a different label to her past records.

According to The Sun, the mother-of-one has parted ways with Polydor, who were behind her previous four solo albums.

Polydor are part of the Universal Music Group, who Cheryl remains signed to, and it’s said she will now seek another of their labels to release her fifth album as “it seems the right time for a change.”

The Sun’s source told them: “There wasn’t anyone left at Polydor who worked with her in the past so it seemed the right time for a change.

“She is still contracted to Universal so now it’s a case of figuring out which label is the correct fit for the direction she is going in.”

Does that mean Chez may be trying a different sound?

Since then, she’s been focused on being a mum to son Bear, nearly one, with Liam Payne, and opening her centre for young people in the North East with the help of the Prince’s Trust.
