According to a source close to Amanda and the record company, the multi-platinum selling hitmaker still owes Ambitiouz two more albums.

Speaking through her publicist, Bonnie Meslane, Amanda could not confirm nor deny her current position with the record label.

"Amanda is still looking around, having meetings with potential managers and nothing has been confirmed
as yet.

"I can't confirm nor deny whether or not she still has to release two more albums like you said, but you have to understand that there are contractual 'things'," Meslane said.

She declined to divulge any further details on why she left Ambitiouz but said the star's new manager will handle her bookings, publicity and manage the brand Amanda.
