For my new music, I will let things get grittier. I definitely want to explore a softer side as well, but I’ll keep it all very sultry.

You released an album, then got dropped from Interscope Records. What’s next for you?

This is a chance for me to explore my options and...find the very best place where I fit in. I’m working on an EP right now. I’m going to be meeting a lot of labels and seeing where the next home is for me.

I already have 10 new songs written, so it won’t take so long (to release something).

Quote:The soulful songbird announced that she has begun writing songs for a new EP. “I’m currently getting a group of songs together so I can start shopping for labels.

Right now, I just want to see what the right fit is for me and whether it is with a major or independent label. Nothing’s set in stone yet.

“Whatever I do will always have soul, rock and jazz. This is what I have grown up with and what I do best,” she said

"I have my dad (Harry Reinhart from the band, Midnight) on board for four tracks, so far. I would love him to play all the guitars on the next record as I want it to have a definite classic rock n’ roll sound."

SHOWBIZ: Haley’s still an Idol fan

Quote:AMERICAN Idol’s Jimmy Iovine is a lot scarier on camera than off it,” says Season 10’s third runner-up, Haley Reinhart with a flash of her pearly whites.

“With me, he was such a sweet guy, not always the big bad wolf,” says the 22-year-old on her Malaysian stopover last week for her album, Listen Up! and Starworld.

Quote:Reinhart has since released her debut album, Listen Up!, on Interscope Records but was dropped late last year. “I was shocked to be dropped by the label. But there was a new president coming in. While I thought I had to prove myself to a new guy, he came in and dropped 65 acts. I do understand what happened,” she says matter-of-factly. “It was fate, it was supposed to be this way.”

Quote: She feels there’s “a great lane opening up for rock and roll, that I feel free to dive into”.

“Whatever I do will be sultry, has rock in it and some jazz. It’ll reflect what I’ve grown up with,” she says, adding that she wants creative control over her recording work and to be understood as an artiste because “ultimately it’s my career”.

...She says, with a grin, that her next album will be targeted “at the boys out there who do the stupids things they do”.

“My fans are hounding me for a jazz album. When Casey and I did Moaning, people responded really well. I had young children on Twitter, saying they’d never listened to jazz but that now they’d look into it. Jazz is a comfortable thing with me... I think I can do it later on. Right now, I’m focused on rock and pop, and see where it’ll take me.”

Quote:"I like to write songs that motivate people and make other people happy, especially for women," he said.

"The lyrics are more edgy.

Haley, Haley, Haley ... you cannot let this "teachable moment" slip away. Young children have short attention spans .. you've got to keep inspiring them with your jazz proclivities, lest they stray. It's all about the kids ... really ... it is! Really!
