Speech Debelle is quitting her record label, saying the company were to blame for disappointing sales of her Mercury-winning debut album.

Debelle told 6 Music that sales of Speech Therapy suffered because of poor distribution by Big Dada records.

Prior to her win, the album had sold around 3,000 copies with sales increasing to just below 10,000.

“The Mercury Prize was on Tuesday, and on Friday there were no more physical albums in the shops,” she said.

“So, on the Mercury weekend, which would have been my biggest selling weekend, people couldn’t get it,” added Debelle, whose real name is Corynne Elliot.
