So long short stuff! Joe is moving on to new things… R&B Singer Joe Signs Label Deal With New Manager Gerald “Plaid” Isaac Via Billboard reports : R&B singer/songwriter Joe and new manager/business partner Gerald “Plaid” Isaac have signed with BMG Chrysalis North America. Plaid Take-Over, the duo’s new label, will release Joe’s next album “Bridges” through BMG Artist Services with distribution from RED. The move to BMG Chrysalis marks Joe’s split from Kedar Massenburg, his longtime manager and label chief at both Kedar Entertainment and Massenburg Media. Prior to that, Joe recorded for Mercury and Jive. “Bridges” is the follow-up to Joe’s 2013 Massenburg Media album “DoubleBack: Evolution of R&B.” That project debuted at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Set for release this summer, “Bridges” includes first single “Love & Sex Part 2″ featuring Kelly Rowland. “Working with Gerald has been a well-thought-out process and a much-needed move for me in moving forward as an artist and a businessman,” said Joe in a statement. “He is a razor in this game with unique business savvy. I am confident the teams will leave no stone unturned in helping us to continue building my model.” Joe, a seven-time Grammy Award nominee, will perform songs from “Bridges” during his upcoming spring tour with stops in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Dates and cities will be announced shortly. Hopefully this change does Joe good.
