I wish she could get success at all, the girl is flopping so hard right now. :( She should go with Oh My! as the second single, it's her best chance.

Haley Reinhart, Listen Up! (4,000, -26%, 36,000) (#170 BB200) Thank you. Only 36,000 so far is just... horrible. :( Interscope, do something. She should go with Oh My! as the second single, it's her best chance. I agree. Haley could possibly be played on the radio, but apparently her team doesn't care. At this point, I'm just glad that she got to release her album, since there are some other artists on the label that still have yet to release their albums. It just sucks that she is currently in danger of getting dropped by her record label due to the low sales, even though she released an album full of great songs. *sigh*

It really seems like these major labels enjoy losing money on projects. Why funnel so much money in producing an album and not bother even try to promote it long or hard enough to at least break even on your investment?

The album really is excellent. Release "Oh My!" and try to get a hit out of that.

Haley performed 'Free' on The View, and it was beautiful.

I was dragged to see Step Up Revolution this past weekend...to my suprise the film was actually beautiful to watch. But anyhow, Undone was featured in the film, the song fit perfectly with the scene.
I wish they would release it.

So random, but "Undone" was used in this week's episode of Chrissy & Mr. Jones on VH1. It sounded great!

Great album. Wish they'd promote it more. You mean the synch license on Chrissy & Mr. Jones wasn't enough for you? At least that's a few hundred bucks towards recouping her account.

I don't know why they even bother signing an artist and having them release an album if they have absolutely no intention of it being a hit. Clearly they haven't tried to promote this in any real way. I know not every artist can be Katy Perry or Taylor Swift but its pretty hard to get a core following if you don't get out there and get noticed at some point. She either needs hits and heavy promotion or she needs some incredible music (regardless of hit power) that will set her up for a loyal following. You can't play around in the middle, IMO.

She needs to open for someone on tour and send out Undone to radio. These little festival dates and rare & random talk show occurrences won't sell shit.
Get it together, Jimmy Iovine.

I don't think they believe in her as a viable artist, just wanted to get a product out in the market to capitalize on whatever audience/fans were left or interested. A keepsake or whatever. It's totally a shame, because we know that this girl has real talent and SHOULD be huge, but it's not happening at this point.

I think Haley would be better off getting dropped from Interscope, and signing with a label that actually cares.

I think her key lies in a movie role. She has such a unique look, and charisma/charm combined with that incredible voice.
She needs like a Jennifer Hudson breakout kinda role. Easier said than done, but something "old Hollywood" has always struck me about her.

Looks like Haley finally got dropped by Interscope and 19R. I seriously hope she puts out another album on another record label, because Listen Up! was so amazing to me. Good luck Haley! Los Angeles Times

Every time I would see Haley's thread get bumped up I would think ugh, this is it, this is when they announce they dropped her. Sadly, I'm finally correct :'(
She got a FLAWLESS album as a lovely parting gift, at least, but it's too little salve for the little they did with and for her. I do hope she finds another home soon (whether it be a major or indie).

Listen Up! is a remarkable album for a debut album. I'll never understand why it never got the promotion it deserved. I'm sad about her getting dropped, but I'm more happy than anything. Well, happy and nervous. I'm going to be nervous until she gets signed again, which I don't think she'll have a problem getting but you never know. I just hope the next record label she signs with cares about her. Would I like her to go indie or major? I hope that she signs with a major record label, because I don't want her to be forgotten on an indie label. I just don't know what major record label would be right for her.

I really liked Listen Up! and thought it had potential. I really hope she sees success in the future or has a good breakthrough! Being dropped will likely help her out, as long as she can get signed to another label.

3:17 mark - live performance of "Oh My!"
Apparently NBC is running a new show entitled "Real Live Music" every Saturday after SNL, so this was aired and Haley performed. Never even heard of this new addition, but great performance, nonetheless!

New cowrite/demo called "Love Not War" https%3A//soundcloud.com/westlake/lovenotwar-1
I can tell that this'll get mixed reviews, but I love it. It's pop with such a fantastic rhythmic edge. I need a new album from this girl ASAP.
