Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has launched her own record label ahead of the release of her debut solo album.

The label, called Black Pen Records, will give Coyle complete creative control over the LP, entitled 'Insatiable'.

“So much has changed in the way artists work now,” she said. “I think we have learned that the traditional model for selling an album isn’t the only way of doing things.

“To be able to create an album where you are in complete control of your own work is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an artist.”

'Insatiable' is due to be released on November 8 and will be preceded by a single of the same name on November 1.

The track was written in collaboration with Robbie Williams songwriter Guy Chambers. The album also features production from William Orbit.
