She needs a fresh start with a new label that believes in her and is capable of promoting her properly. I'd hate for her to get lost in indie wonderland.

I've been trying to find new music from her, especially after comparisons between how judges barely gave a break to Jess Muse and how stupidly critical were with Haley in her season. I loved seeing her among the audience at the idol finale... But even more excited to hear that she's releasing new material very soon! touch.dailymotion.com/video/x1wj8su_haley-reinhart-talks-show-me-your-moves-music-video_peopleShe crowdsourced the video to 'Show Me Your Moves', which she's gonna film this week (she'll be a sort of alien inviting people to show their talents ). She says her new album will have some 70s psychedelic influence but with variety of sounds. She also mentioned that a song of hers has been included in an ecological documentary developed by James Cameron. Quite interesting news! I seriously was baffled at the horrible support to her material. Free was already one of the best debut singles for an idol alumni. Period. Haley has several top performances in idol history. Not only that. She helped idol being more relevant: she sang Rolling in the Deep before it was a smash! She sang Gaga's You & I as an exclusive (!!) She had all the potential to succeed in an environment where Adele succeeded and more retro and ballad songs were big. SO FRUSTRATING!!! I hope she has a great album and finally finds the success she deserves.

She should go for an Adele meets Lana sort of sound.

I don't know if people actually remember this, but Rolling in the Deep only got to #1 on iTunes after Haley performed it on Idol.

I know it's sad, but I only first learned of Adele via that performance. I remember not being able to find 21 in any of the stores where I live and asking my sister who lives an hour away to find it for me. She hadn't heard of her and couldn't find it either, but ended up getting a copy from a friend of hers. I wonder if that was because Adele was still unknown at the time or the album had already started flying off shelves? Bizarre story for an album/artist that went on the become one of the biggest in years.
Haley wasn't my favorite contestant to ever come from the show, but I was surprised that she didn't do well considering the material. She also seemed one of the more popular female contestants from the later years of Idol. What I don't get is why they give girls like her and Jessica decent material and then don't promote them well. Maybe being on the show would've been enough when Idol first started, but that was pretty much over by 2010. Loved "Free," so I hope and believe she'll get another album in the future. Just hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'll listen to it later... Just wanted to say that a month ago I downloaded her Blue and House of the rising sun Idol songs to my iPhone, and they are pure bliss! Great versions. She is among my top 10 idol acts (maybe top 5) and I'm stunned at how she hasn't had any major success yet. She has a unique style, great voice, able up emote with lots of versatility... She should be successful!! Argh

Honestly if this song got some label support I think it could be huge! Plus Haley looks so sexy!

Has a throwback vibe and I could see this doing something at radio IF it had some kind of backing but since it seems Haley is completely on her own, I doubt it even gets a chance.

Video is great! Haley looks very sexy And the photography is cool. The song however is not that catchy IMO and not as a strong as I had hoped. I think Free was a much better song and lead single. This has a cool retro vibe but the prechorus gets a bit on my nerves and I was waiting for some more oomph either vocally or musically. Maybe a good remix could elevate it, but it's a bit bland I still hope she gets support at least from hot AC, but I'm disappointed because such a video could've been more effective for a catchier song. Anyway. Best of luck to Haley! I'll still purchase her single and watch and share the video (I assume yahoo counts for streaming?)

I don't know how I forgot about this song!!! It's great.... f**k Interscope...
She deserves to smash in every way possible.... most Haley fans don't even know she had an album out... shame. :'(
I'm fucking obsessed with her right now, and I need another album from her, and I need it to go virl or something!!!

A vocalist of this caliber and the best she can do is voiceover work in a straight-to-Netflix ANIMATED SERIES? OMG.

She's always releasing new things, posting YT videos, and even doing live gigs (usually in the Downtown LA area). -Literally nothing wrong with a Netflix-only series. Animated or not, some of the most successful shows today are exclusive to Netflix and Netflix only ("Orange is the New Black", "House of Cards"). Not saying that this show will reach the caliber of success that those 2 shows have seen, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with her getting a voiceover gig for the show. And look at the names attached to this show: Bill Burr, Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsley, and Michael Price? This is a massive opportunity for her.

Ah OK, I didn't know OITNB or House of Cards are Netflix-only (I got rid of my account years ago and have never seen either of the shows on DVD or whatever) but...that's cool. I just love her voice so much, I want to hear more music. Free was the smash that never was. I played the fuck out of that jam.
