NASHVILLE (Billboard) - In a surprise move, country artist Cyndi Thomson has returned to the Capitol Records Nashville artist roster after a three-year-plus hiatus.
Thomson's 2001 debut album, "My World," went gold, and her single "What I Really Meant To Say" spent three weeks atop Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. But the following year, she stunned the industry by walking away from her career, saying she couldn't "commit to those obligations" that go along with the profession.
At the time, Capitol Records Nashville president/CEO Mike Dungan said the label's staff was "heartbroken and bewildered at (her) decision."
Now, the label is seeking songs for 29-year-old Thomson, who is set to begin recording a new album in late February. Before stepping away, Thomson had said she planned to "continue writing and creating music," but it is unknown how much work she did.
