Indigo de Souza Seeks $90,000 to Buy Rights to Unreleased Album
Indigo de Souza is raising $90,000 to buy the rights to release her finished album independently.
The singer-songwriter says she is negotiating to end her deal with Loma Vista Records, which released her 2025 album, Precipice.
The new album is complete but has not been released while those negotiations continue.
De Souza says she offered to repay the label for the money it invested in making the record.
She says the label relationship did not fit her values and that leaving has been difficult.
Her home in Marshall, North Carolina, was flooded when Hurricane Helene hit the area two years ago, and she lost nearly all her possessions.
She hopes the fundraiser will let her release the album independently, but the sources do not say when that may happen.
Indigo de Souza has launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $90,000 to buy the rights to release her finished, unreleased album.
She says she wants to release the album independently after requesting to leave her deal with Loma Vista Records.
De Souza says the negotiations to end the deal have been painful and that the album is ready to be released.
The album was written and recorded after Hurricane Helene flooded her home in Marshall, North Carolina.
Less than 24 hours after the campaign was announced, it had raised about a tenth of its target, according to Stereogum.

What people are saying
No matter what size artist you are, the contracts make it intricately difficult to leave
one of the most demoralizing experiences of my life
It has been indescribably painful to feel this album just sitting there, finished, while I have been waiting and negotiating its freedom.
I knew I had made a mistake and that I couldn’t thrive in that kind of work environment.
