If only 'journalists' would get facts checked. Silly people- I'm looking at legality of your @TheSun ....legality of your wording. FYI- I'm renegotiating deals and Island are still very much in the mix. Silly silly people So glad he's done this. This post has been edited by truly talented: Aug 4 2016, 05:56 PM

'85% Proof' in fairness although it done REALLY well probably didn't match a major labels expectations as it didn't produce any hit singles and 'only' went silver.

The answer to your question is that he doesn't really have a traditional deal with Island - he licensed 85% Proof to Island and XIX Management Limited, so that explains that he pretty much re-negotiates with each release.

So did Island just distribute 85% Proof? I can understand Will having a different label relationship to most other artists as he likes to have the freedom to pursue acting roles and other projects.
