Really?? No third single from HMNI...??? So sad to hear that :/ Anyway I'm excited about this new album! I loved her first one ♥

[Gray.]

Glad to see her getting a second shot on HR. I enjoyed Hello My Name Is..., but it was definitely lacking some hit potential outside of "Ready or Not." Excited to hear what she tries next.

Lots of Bridgit-related news to post today!

We now have the first song title from her new album:

On her studies and songwriting...
"I'm taking two courses at USC. In medieval visual culture we're looking at the Roman Empire and I've applied that to my songwriting -- there's a song called 'Rome' on my new album. I've been musing on the idea of a culture lost."

The Erie County Fair has announced its lineup for 2014 and Bridgit will be performing! She is booked to perform on Saturday, August 9th at 7:30 pm. Other artists performing at the fair include Dierks Bentley, John Fogerty, and Lady Antebellum. You can visit their website here for more information.

And finally, Bridgit recently went to Guatemala to visit local families and see the work that Save the Children is doing to help people there (she has pics from her trip on Instagram!). She also hosted a panel at their Advocacy Summit in Washington, DC earlier this week which is where she announced the organization's upcoming #BabySitIn campaign. Here is a video where she explains the project, but you can also visit their website here for more information.



She also appeared on Andrea Mitchell Reports on MSNBC where she talked about her trip to Guatemala and about the #BabySitIn campaign.

Hopefully we get more news about her music soon!

She's touring all summer on the Run Around Tour with Hot Chelle Rae and some other acts. Seems like they're mainly appearing at Six Flags parks and some fairs. Glad to see she's still working, it also seems like she's been in the studio a lot recently so hopefully something new appears soon.

Unrelated but I just rediscovered the brilliance of Hello My Name Is... today. Her voice is highly underrated.

[astronut]

OMG. I hope we get some YouTube videos, asap!

[Gray.]

YES thank god. Hello My Name Is... has become my album of the summer (almost 2 years too late...). Generally over time "We're Dancing," "Postcard," "Quicksand," "Rocks at My Window", & "All I See Is Gold" really started to click with me. Reviewers wrote her off as a Selena/Demi derivative with a unique voice, but I think her song choices on that album are really interesting and relatable (without being too generic).

I want the first single of album #2 alreadyyyyyyy.

[astronut]

Happy New Year, Mendies!

Not a whole lot of buzz on her album, sadly.

But she is making her return to television! It was announced that she has been cast as a series regular on the NBC series 'Undateable' starting March 17th. I actually saw a few episodes of this show when it premiered this past summer and it was... not very good in my opinion. I thought it got cancelled.

But it's Bridgit on Primetime TV so I'll suffer through and watch. Hopefully we get that album soon!

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

her first album was basic af but she rocked it. she has a decent voice if she gets the right material

[Gray.]

I still like a few songs from her debut album; "Ready or Not", "All I See Is Gold", "Rocks at My Window", "We're Dancing", and "City Lights" were all good. And "Blonde" is a guilty pleasure tbh.

I wonder if and when she'll release new music... Good to see her still performing lots but I want album #2 already ugh.

[Gray.]

Apparently she was dropped this summer?

[HellaGood]

^

There's no way she was dropped, she was HWR most succesful new act. I bet she decided to leave. She said she's working on it still and will release something very soon recentlt, but it's taking too long. Sigh.

...She was by no means their most successful new act. She's also not that new of an act any more, since her album came out in 2012. And without a show on Disney Channel any more, it's not that surprising that they no longer saw the cross-marketing potential. Sabrina Carpenter and Zendaya pose much more promise for Disney promotional purposes.

Regardless, she's capable of making much more mature music than HWR might have permitted. Hopefully she lands at a major.

[pnobelysk]

I know nothing about Sabrina , but Bridget and zendaya had similar success each having a top 40 hot that sold platnium and modest album sales. However I'd give the edge to zendaya because she seems to have more of social media pull

Zendaya is also still on the Disney Channel with her own show, and she's younger. The whole Fashion Police/Oscar media storm made her a much more well-known name too. Bridgit was relatively unknown even during her days on Disney...

When Bridgit Mendler said that her album was 90% finished... 10 months ago. :kii:

There may be a sign of hope for new music though: the season finale of Undateable is tomorrow. Let's hope that this will finally be the time for her to release something! She has been recording recently:

[Gray.]

She needs a label unless she wants to release something independently. I doubt we'll hear anything until she's announced that part.

[astronut]

She may be going independent. She did a show on Monday night, but before her show she did a Periscope where she confirms that she is not on a record label and is "flying solo." She also continues to vaguely assert that new music is coming soon, which probably means that it isn't.

[Gray.]

I think going independent will be a mistake for her... There was real pop radio potential on her debut, and without a major label, she's really not gonna make much of a splash anywhere. And that show she's on only has so much more life left in it...

[Gray.]

Idolator posted an article that she's gearing up to release something soon... Hm.

New EP coming out this year?



Bridgit had a listening party to share a new song with fans in London earlier today. Cell phones were confiscated during the playback portion of the listening party, so sadly we won't be able to listen to a recorded version of the song.

But according to a fan who was there, Bridgit said that she will be releasing an EP with 4-5 songs later this summer. "Oxygen" will be on it, as well as a song called "Atlantis" (unsure if this was the song shared today). And she's still not on a label, so it looks like she will be releasing this project independently.

Hopefully she will make an official announcement about this soon. Excited!

[Gray.]

I've already stated above how much of a mistake I think it is for her to go independent, but I'm excited to hear what she has up her sleeve nonetheless.

[astronut]

Listening party at the Costello Club in Madrid in 10 minutes.

[astronut]

She's coming. :'(

[Gray.]

That production sounds very promising.

[astronut]

Toronto listening party today. London, Madrid, Toronto... it's like our baby is on a world tour. :'(

[astronut]

POP EMERGENCY.
