The singer cut all ties with the label in September after failing to reach a consensus over the future direction of her music.
"There were some people who didn't like the direction I took with this album (Discipline). They wanted me to sound more like Sade," she told Sister 2 Sister magazine.
"But I'm not ready for that just yet. I love doing dance songs and I think my fans expect that of me."
Jackson, who is still without a record deal, added that she has chosen to focus on a career in film, saying: "I have been getting more behind the scenes with film and television. I will probably continue to do music - and acting is still a strong passion of mine - but I really have been loving behind-the-scenes work: producing, directing and all the technical stuff."
Jackson recently cancelled shows she had postponed after falling ill during her 'Rock Witchu' tour.
