According to reports, she had some album promotion tour dates pushed back.
The news comes after Banks’ UK tour dates were postponed from September 2014 to December 2014 – not exactly a good sign. The shows were supposed to be in support of Broke With Expensive Taste, which was last confirmed to be released April 16. (Gigwise)

“Can someone at Sony buy me off of Universal please?? i’m really in hell here.,” she tweeted January 26.
“Please Help : Serious Inquiry.”

“I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. they don’t even know what they’re listening for or to.”
