Default Alizée record company change?

Has anyone seen this news article from today?

http://musique.evous.fr/info.php?article1885

This indicates Alizée has changed record companies to Sony/BMG (ironically, Julien Dore's company). One of the other rumor sites had mentioned something about a potential change in company. That seems like it would contradict Sylvain's statement on Nidalizee though. Any opinions?

Insofar as Carpentier said she'd signed with a Universal subsidiary, yes.

How reliable is this source?

Thanks a lot there, 'fsquared.' You've flushed me out. How did you know that I can't even hardly speak English let alone French? "But I'm listening (trying to decipher? ) anyway!"

Zack posted some reference to this on 8/3/07. I was concerned there would be another delay in Alizée's CD release due to this as well as other issues. Here is his post from Tinkalizée: (Look at the bottom 3 lines)

"As we announced to you several times before, Alizée is at this moment preparing her grand return to the music scene. One has heard today that the young singer has just changed record companies!

"Produced from the beginning by Polydor (a division of Universal Music that counts Mylène Farmer, Laura Fabian and Melissa Mars among its artists), Alizée has decided to join RCA, a label of Major Sony/BMG.

"She will rub elbows with Patrick Bruel, Thierry Amiel and Luke.

"Let us hope that this change will accelerate the release of her new album!"

Heh -- let us hope that this change will be the LAST such change for a while. And that she's happy with the way they treat her.

Normally, you would sign with a record company first and then they would fund the recording of the CD, (and own it). Since it seems that she signed only recently, I wonder if she funded the recording out of her own pocket. That would give her ownership and the freedom to do what she wanted creatively. She could then shop it around for the best deal.

Of course there is the risk that she might not find a record company that would make a deal. If this is what she's done, she's very gutsy and I admire her for it. I hope when it comes out it tops the charts.

This actually makes sense. It could be they were confusing the old company with the new one. Why would she switch from Polydor, one division of Universal music, to another?

Chartsinfrance.net had the same story at some point. Here is a summary link you can get to from her summary page (under Actualité)
http://www.chartsinfrance.net/Alizee/index-9250.html

Alizée quitte Universal pour Sony/BMG (le 14/08/2007)
La nouvelle est tombée, Alizée a quitté Polydor (Universal) pour rejoindre RCA (Sony/BMG) aux côtés de Patrick Bruel, Kamini, Julie Reins and co. Son troisième album studio sera en bacs à la rentrée.

BUT, when I clicked on the link, the story itself was gone.
