The star signed with EMI — which is also home to Taylor Swift and Elton John — to much fanfare in November 2022.
However, I've been told they have parted ways after her third album, simply titled Jess, didn't do as well as she had hoped.
While her first two records, 2015's I Cry When I Laugh and 2018's Always In Between, both went to No1, this one peaked at No6 in its first week and dropped out of the chart entirely the week after.
A music insider said: 'Jess knows plenty about having massive hit singles, so there was a lot of excitement when she signed her deal with EMI Records.
'Planning next moves'
'But it's not exactly been the fruitful relationship that either had hoped.
'The album didn't do as well as anyone wanted, and none of the singles even graced the Top 40.
'She's had a tough time reintroducing herself to the public after a few years away.
'Both she and the label decided it was for the best to stop working together.
'But Jess isn't letting it dampen her spirits.
'She is already working on new music and is planning her next moves.'

The Grammy winner, who is in a relationship with sports pundit and former footballer Alex Scott, scored all of her No1 singles in a four-year period from 2014 to 2018.
Her exceptional run started with the Clean Bandit collaboration Rather Be, and was followed by My Love with Route 94, plus her solo singles Hold My Hand and Don't Be So Hard On Yourself.
She also topped the charts on the Tinie Tempah song Not Letting Go, as well as a collab with Rudimental and Macklemore called These Days, and, lastly, solo track I'll Be There.
It'll be seven years next month since that one took pole position.
But I've got every faith she can climb those charts once again in the future.

He became an instant billionaire when he inherited his title, and the historic Grosvenor Estate, aged 25 following the death of his father from a heart attack in 2016.
