Rumors have surfaced that raven has been dropped from her label and we can exclusively confirm this rumor. Her rep quotes:

"Raven-Symone and Hollywood Records have parted ways, it was a mutual decision for both parties involved."

(I first read this here: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnoth ... tml#cutid1) And, if you go on HollywoodRecords.com, Raven isn't there anymore. )

That's sad. Raven is such a Disney girl. Granted, I'm one of Hollywood Records' biggest fans, and I didn't buy either Raven album. I did download her Disneymania songs and "Double Dutch Bus". If all of her music was as poppy as "Double Dutch Bus", I'd buy her albums. There's not as big of a market for teen R&B than there is for teen pop, I guess. Poor Raven. I feel so bad. I feel like it's partly my fault. I like Raven, and I like how she has made music that she has wanted to make, but it's just not my type of music.

*Update*

Okay, so, I've been doing my research, and apparently Raven had originally signed a 2-record deal with Hollywood Records. As this blog-responder on that Live Journal page wrote:
"she wasn't dropped. She finished her contract and the label decided not to renew it."

That makes more sense...if she only had a 2-record deal, then she wasn't "dropped", she just wasn't "renewed". Still stinks, though.

Poor raven. I have always felt she got the short end of the Disney teen sensation straw. Too bad to because she was such a great actress and role model. Maybe if she had put her album aside for a bit and participated in Cheetah Girls 3 this might not have happened. Cheetah Girls 3 should not have been made with out her. Hopefully she is mentioned in it and doesn't end up like maranda in the Lizzie McGuire movie.
