Candice confirms that the album release date will be later than the rumored August 27 date. An official announcement will be released on Monday, as per her Twitter, but she also tweeted that, due to the delay, more music may be added to the album than originally planned. Thank goodness she did well with presales on iTunes to help bolster her first week sales because if she doesn't manage to put out a solid single to hold over the (minimal) buzz she has left, the later the date, the lower her sales will be come debut week. I'm starting to get a little nervous for her. I'm also kind of shocked that Kree has yet to be signed. It's never taken this long for a winner or runner-up to sign post-Idol.

Candice performed last night on the Idol tour what may be her debut single In The Middle . song is very catchy with a Reggae singer in what may be the back track of the recording.
Candice tweeted it is not the next single .maybe they will debut that after the tour. :'(

"In the Middle" sounds great and I'm really excited to hear the studio recording of it! A reported crowd of 4,000 was in attendance last night. Not very impressive, but the arena holds 6,500 and the past 3 Idol tours that played the area (Kent, WA/Seattle, WA) all drew crowds of ~5,000, so it actually fared better than expected. This will easily be one of the lowest-grossing tours of the show's history (maybe topping Season 1 or 2), but I'm glad to hear that the expectation of 1-2k crowds is at least wrong and these songs will be played to a bit larger crowds. They're in Portland, OR tonight. You can find a lot of other videos here if you browse.

I forgot she existed until like 2 seconds ago when I saw a tweet from her... She just posted a clip of her singing some song from the album. It's called "Forever That Man." http://instagram.com/p/d5gR2eMwuR

Pushed back to February 18. *sigh* Idol will probably not even being doing their live shows that week for her to perform .so unless it is added to the show that week there will not be one to promote it.

Pushed back to February 18. *sigh* GOOD. that rush release was a bad idea from jump. they don't even have her real/final album cover up for the pre-order and she did that shoot months ago ![:-x](http://images.proboards.com/lipsrsealed.gif) . I'm excited to hear what Jazmine Sullivan wrote for the album.

I bet the story behind the struggle of making this album is a fascinating one (I love hearing about label/artist drama, as frustrating as it often can be). I wonder if we'd ever hear what the deal is. I agree that the original plan (a July release) was a stupid idea, but November should have been doable based on Idol's track record. October was pushing it a bit, but that has been done as well.
Just b/c the album is coming out during a non-live week doesn't mean she can't go on Idol later and promote it, but the middle of February is a pretty sucky date for a debut release. It makes for an awkward situation as to when to release the second single; if the first one takes off it will probably peak and then fade in January. And if it flops they won't really know for sure that it's dead until November, and there would be no point in releasing anything until after the holidays are over anyway. But then there wouldn't be enough time for the second one to take off before the album is out.

I already forgot who she was. Not good for her album sales. They better do some serious promo to get her back out there before this drops.

With this move I think this going to be the first winning idol debut album to not pass 100k in sales

Due to an glitch, the album (i.e. IAB and 9 empty files) has been downloading for everyone who pre-ordered (since it was due today) and is now #4 on iTunes. SMH.

MESS. I have a feeling they'll be dropping her before the album comes out.

Album cover is nothing special. She's an amazing singer so I hope the material is good. But yeah uninspired and unoriginal cover.

LOVE the new single... pretty sure it'll flop at radio... just not radio material, but I LOVE it, personally.
Edit: Not in love with the ending, though... It just ends when it sounds like the song should continue. Kinda shitty, I was hoping they'd release something that would actually make a splash - this is not what I had in mind...

Reminds me of the type of music the flop talent show contestants like Tarralyn Ramsey and LaShell Griffin were putting out a decade ago. Sounds like an attempt at a gospel-inspired ballad, but it's not a hit.

She sounds AMAZING but this is nobody's radio hit, Urban AC included. It's almost as if AI wants her to fail.

yeah not loving this... and I liked her. IDOL is taking way to long releasing an album. KREE should have already had a country album out and Candice should have had an RB/URBAN record out MONTHS ago. esp KREE I think country would have welcomed her with open arms

This sounds like a Jazmine Sullivan leftover and now that I think about it I think I hear Jazmine in the background. The song might be a moderate UAC/AC hit but other than those formats I don't see it doing much. I do think it's a good song but it shouldn't be the lead single.
