*After leaving Def Jam in 2006, Christina Milian has finally found a new label home at MySpace Records, according to Billboard.com.
The singer-songwriter's debut album for the company is due next spring, but the first single - a "cinematic power ballad" titled "Us Against the World" - will be available via the social networking site on Oct. 6.
"I've been out of the game for one and a half years, and I think I'm long overdue for a comeback, so I'm treating this album like it's my last chance to make an impression. I'm competing with myself and being very detailed," the 26-year-old Cuban-American told Billboard. "Before, I had a label telling me what direction to go in. Now, it's my choice, so I'm being very particular about it and I'm really excited."
So far, Kanye West is the lone guest artist on the as-yet-untitled set, which she considers to be a fresh look after the poor sales of her 2006 album "So Amazin'" led to her dismissal from Def Jam.
"I have a lot of support from my peers. I have lots of people that love me and want the best for me," she said. "Sometimes things don't work out the right way, but I know I work my butt off on my end. As long as you know you worked hard, you feel accomplished. Thankfully, I took the time off to check out what's going on and now I'm back, and MySpace is allowing me to do tons of different things creatively."
Milian will appear on the big screen in the romantic comedy "The Ghosts of Girlfriends," starring Matthew McConaughey and scheduled to hit theaters in February. She is featured as the lead in a live-action film made for the EA videogame "Need for Speed," due Nov. 28.
