Christina Milian is ready to give singing another go.
The singer/actress has inked a new recording contract with MySpace's new record label, done in partnership with Interscope Records.
Milian, star of films 'Be Cool' and 'Love Don't Cost a Thing,' was previously signed to Island Def Jam.
The 26-year-old star, who had a high profile relationship with actor/rapper Nick Cannon, released three lackluster CDs-though only two were available in the U.S.-beginning with 2001's self-titled CD, 2004's 'It's About Time' and 2006's 'So Amazin.'
Milian currently dates producer Dre of the producing duo Cool & Dre. The production team produced the majority of her last album on Island Def Jam and reports claimed that since Milian only wanted her boyfriend to produce the album, the label decided to drop her once it performed poorly.

Singer Avant has also landed a new recording contract. The soulful crooner will now record CDs for Capitol Records.
The singer released four gold and platinum records for Geffen Records, but parted ways with the label last fall. "It feels good to sign with Capitol, they've shown that their dedicated to push their resources for my projects. I look forward to a long lasting relationship with many, many hit records", said Avant.
Upon the release of his first album on Capitol this spring, Avant will head out on the road and tour with the R&B trio TGT, which consists of Tyrese, Ginuwine and Tank.
Speaking of Capitol Records, the label plans to release original Destiny's Child member LeToya Luckett's sophomore album, 'Lady Love,' in July 2008.
The set includes production by heavy hitters like Babyface, Teddy Bishop, Walter Milsap, Bryan Michael Cox, Dr. Dre and Rodney Jerkins. Luckett's debut record, 'LeToya,' debuted at number one when it was released in 2006 and was certified platinum.
The CD is currently untitled and not attached to a record label, but Braxton hopes that she can focus on life after departing Blackground Records once her run in Braxton is hoping talks with J Records honcho Clive Davis pan out and can have an album in the marketplace sometime before fall.
Singer Toni Braxton is preparing to wrap her Las Vegas show at the Flamingo Hotel and is gearing up for her next studio album.
R&B singer Mya is trying to get out of her contract with Universal/Motown according to a recent interview the Washington, DC-bred singer/actress did with Star News Online. When probed about her relationship with the record company, Mya offered: "I'll be leaving Motown Universal some time next year." Mya's fourth CD, 'Liberation,' was delayed several times in 2007 and doesn't have a firm release date on Universal/Motown's 2008 schedule. The frustrated singer now wants to release music independently. "I don't really want to sign to another label," confessed the 'My Love Is Like...Wo' singer. "If you end up funding most of your projects, why not distribute your own product and make 100 percent of your profits?"

I think its really too bad for alot of these very talented female singers, the industry is not what it use to be (80s, 90s, early 2000), its just changed, and they got caught in the "cross-fire" the internet and reality TV has changed the face of the recording industry. Artist need to have their hands in multiple-pots (TV, Magazines, Movies, product promotion, Fashion) they need all the exposure they can get, they can't depend on video and radio rotation. This new generation of kids, they can't focus on one artist. It just a whole new ball game now. Many female artists will just have a short shelf life.

I co-sign what Melle said.
Furthermore, Amerie stands a better chance in the US than those two.
