"Every time I release an album my old record company releases another one"
About this Quote
On the surface it's a gripe about timing. Underneath, it's a sharp snapshot of how music rights work: labels often control old masters, and their incentives don't align with an artist's narrative arc. Tyler is talking about being chased by her own back catalog, the way a previous era of her career can be strategically reissued, remastered, "newly discovered", or bundled into a greatest-hits package the minute fresh attention arrives. Her current album becomes marketing for someone else's inventory.
The wit is in the repetition. "Every time" makes it feel less like coincidence and more like a reflexive business tactic; "another one" reduces those releases to disposable units, not art, not milestones. It also hints at a larger cultural truth: pop careers are rarely clean chapters. They're overlapping contracts, fragmented ownership, and competing versions of the same identity. Tyler isn't just complaining about an old company. She's pointing at the machinery that turns musicians into perpetual content streams - even when they try to move on.
