That Was Us: Kip Moore has departed the MCA Nashville roster after more than a dozen years and is working on a new album. Moore praised the label's "top notch team," singling out the promotion staff who "work tirelessly and don't get thanked enough" via social media. "I’ve been so lucky to have had the freedom through the years to do it my way," he said. "I’m not sure where I’ll end up (currently having those discussions), but in the meantime, doing a record completely independent for the first time in my career has been something I can’t put into words."
