A New Chapter for Astrid S
The talented Astrid S has officially parted ways with Universal Music, marking the end of a significant ten-year relationship with one of the world’s largest record companies. This news was confirmed by Bjørn Rogstad, Universal Music’s Norwegian director, in an interview with Norwegian newspaper VG. He reflected on their time together, sharing that it has been a «wild, fun, educational and wonderful journey» and praised Astrid as a ‘rare and clear star.’
A Natural Transition
As with many artists, the end of a recording contract can be seen as a natural evolution in their careers. Rogstad noted, «all good things come to an end—naturally and undramatically». Much like footballers and coaches who often change clubs, artists frequently seek out new opportunities by shifting record labels. Astrid echoed this sentiment, expressing her desire to explore new creative avenues as her contract expired.
Looking Ahead
Astrid S, whose full name is Astrid Smeplass, has expressed excitement about continuing her musical journey independently. She plans to release music on her own, stating, «I think that’s healthy». Despite the transition, she remains proud of her achievements with Universal Music, emphasising that she holds the label in high regard and leaves on amicable terms. This new phase could propel her career in fresh and exhilarating directions, and fans are eagerly anticipating what comes next for the beloved artist.
