With the release of the "Mastermind" demo, this officially marks the end of the WCT era. It looks like all the songs have been scrapped and Michelle is moving on. She is probably starting work on a new album.

She is probably starting work on a new album. Can she please drop herself from her record label so we can actually HEAR a new album from her again? It's pointless to be constantly recording and releasing this new "first singles" from albums that never see the light of day. What's the point of moving on from an "era" if we aren't even sure the next "era" will even be released?

That's the problem, isn't it? Michelle records entire albums and then when the first single doesn't catch on to radio, the entire album goes into limbo for a while and then eventually gets scrapped by the label and locked away in a vault, with Michelle releasing a few tracks online. Nothing will ever change unless the fans get outraged enough and the media catches on (like what happened with Fiona Apple a few years ago).

Unfortunately for Michelle, because her sound was more pop, her audience is different from that of Fiona where they've already moved on to something else. I'd like to see some sort of a movement going though.

Apparently she's featured on Christina Perri's upcoming holiday EP (A Very Merry Perri Christmas, released October 16)! Not sure which song yet, but it's one of these:
1. Thereβs Something About December 2. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 3. Ave Maria 4. Merry Christmas Darling 5. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas 6. Please Come Home For Christmas

She's on YouTube show What's Trending right now and just said she plans to have an album out in the spring before going on tour. (At this point, I'll believe it when I see it.)

It should have been the first single, period. It always sounded like a hit ever since she premiered it live acousticly.
Loud Music did NOTHING for her. What a shame.

Didn't it peak at like #21 on HAC? I mean, it didn't do much, but I wouldn't say it did "nothing." "Spark" should have been first, though, I agree.

Spark is pretty fantastic, much stronger chorus than Loud Music. I guess that means we now have 5 of of the songs from the original track listing for WCT. She's been saying since Christmas at least that the album was rescheduled for Spring, but...

I've been jamming to "Spark" for the last week now. Such a perfect song. Any updates on the album?

I heard "Leave the Pieces" not too long ago and forgot how much I enjoy it. And I like her solo material, so I will look forward to this.

Yesterday, the following leaked for the first time (well, as far as I know): From Everything Comes and Goes: -Pretty Little Lyin' Eyes -Through the Radio -I'm Not That Strong -Not Gonna Follow You Home -Crazy Ride (Acoustic Version) From West Coast Time: -For Dear Life (album version) -Now That I Found You I think with this, we have the entire Everything Comes and Goes album and 8 songs from West Coast Time. Safe to say that WCT is never being released.

Those have actually been out (well, maybe not "Crazy Ride" since I hadn't seen it) for at least a week. ;) The members of her message board got fed up and let them go. Other tracks: "Mastermind" (apparently an alternative mix) "Hey, Baby" (Sedona Sessions) "Show Me A Sign"
Really sucks, because I could definitely see her sound still working on radio - while it's country-tinged, her sound has the folk quality of many groups she's tweeted about that would let her fit nicely on AAA as well as her usual HAC home. Really like "For Dear Life," "Pretty Little Lyin' Eyes," and "Through The Radio."
Apparently, though, she's in the studio with John Shanks again, so fingers crossed for new stuff that will actually get released!!

They didn't pop up on my message board, and I hadn't read about them. Glad to have the music at least. The link I downloaded "Mastermind" from ended up being labeled incorrectly and just being the studio version of For Dear Life...not sure if there actually is an alternate version, but if so, I want it. As for Show Me a Sign, is this the same one that leaked awhile back? I have an older leak that I think is the same, but I'm not sure if anything's different about the newer one. Yeah that could be exciting stuff, although he did work on Everything Comes and Goes to no avail. I really think if they had roped in Greg Kurstin to produce Spark, it could have been a pop hit last year. I'll never give up on getting a full-scale release from her though. :(
