    I put the countdown to good use on Facebook!

It will be interesting to see what kind of support Haley get's from within the industry after the video and song comes out.
I know that Haley is officially not signed at this time and this is supposibly a independent project, but I can not help to believe that there are people behind Haley that have an interest in her success.
I remember that when the Free video came out there was one night where Haley's VEVO video was linked to other artists video's and the count went up like 100000 over night. Strangely this linking only lasted one night.
It will also be interesting to see what kind of radio play SMYM will get.

Anyway, interesting times are laying ahead with all kind's off room for speculation.

Like they say in amusement park's " Buckle up and enjoy the ride"

I think Haley will get support from the usual sources that cover reality television: The Hollywood Reporter, Yahoo! Music, etc. But cracking the door open further is going to be hard unless the song somehow reaches a broad audience and catches fire.

But it's not a hit until everybody hears it. How much does that cost?

About $1 million, according to Daniels, Riddick and other industry insiders.

With no real knowledge of how they plan to promote this, I'd say it's probably as 'grassroots' as you can get as far as distribution in the 21st century (including piracy)... Given that she's released it so far in advance of the official release date and the age of the internet we live in, we shouldn't get too excited about radio play. I mean "Free" with Interscope's name behind it didn't get any significant play from radio.

OTOH, Haley has had relatively decent success getting heard through her deal with Ole (I'm assuming) getting plays for her song in stores and businesses. There's also the X Factor of how TouchTunes will get involved.

Overview

TouchTunes is the largest in-venue interactive music and entertainment platform, featured in over 60,000 bars and restaurants across North America. Our network supports a growing portfolio of location-based digital solutions that encourage social interactions through shared experiences.

We are the in-venue entertainment leader, pushing boundaries and creating growth opportunities for our customers and our locations. Our innovation story began in 1998 with the release of the world’s first pay-for-play digital jukebox and since then, we have transformed into a multi-application platform offering a variety of engaging and interactive experiences any location can access.

Music is core to the TouchTunes experience and our latest smart jukebox allows the interface to learn from the music most played in a location and adapt over time to highlight the songs, artists and search results that are most relevant. Our leading mobile app lets users find nearby jukebox locations and control their in-venue music experience from their smartphones. Since launch, the app has been downloaded over 2 million times. Also available on the jukebox is our integrated photo booth solution and a first fully licensed commercial karaoke system. In 2014, TouchTunes extended its platform with Tanjarine, a revolutionary integrated dining and entertainment experience that allows guests to place orders, play games and music, and pay their bill, all from portable tablets made available at their table.

We are proud of our strong relationships with a network of over 2,500 jukebox operators who install our equipment in local venues and take responsibility for maintenance, promotion, service and support.

TouchTunes is a privately held company, one of only a few able to deliver end-to-end in-venue interactive entertainment solutions, encompassing hardware, software and network operations.

TouchTunes is headquartered in New York City, with offices in Chicago, Mountain View and Montreal.

If I recall correctly, Touchtunes contributed $7500(?) and as far as we know, that wasn't for a private concert, at least that's not where they slotted that contribution.

SMYM also has 'club potential' for DJ's to remix, another 'grassroots' way to get your music spread/popularity.

It has been discussed extensively over the time we've followed Haley, the old ways of going about building a career in the entertainment industry needs to be re-evaluated. Haley has spent recent months attending festivals, networking with artists and performers from outside the fringe of 'corporate' influences. These are the types of folk who will try new things, imagine new ways to entertain and have the talent to see them through....

Before that, she was involved in song writing and production. There does appear to be an evolution of experiences that she's soaking in. She may not be adept at social media and self promotion, but I think it's fair to say that she has been keeping herself busy soaking in the environment and people that populate the industry she's chosen.

I can see this song getting picked up for promos and sports highlight reels, and potentially a commercial or spot in a television program or even a movie. Although it has probably already been pitched by Ole' to some of the players that might use it.

Does Haley start this song as a narrator introducing her character known as "Rhythm"?

As far as I know, she's not narrating. I was distracted (partly during when they were putting on my makeup) while she was filming with Casey and the Gingerbread band on the wing, that might be where she refers to someone "Oh look who just walked in, a funky bass and a few of his friends" referring to Casey and his band?

I can totally see Casey and the band strutting onto the wing on that part

Killing #Americangottalent with @suboverhype crew ... Yes we did make it :-)

Don't think their audition aired though... maybe if they make it through to the next round

Edit: Never Mind, they got through but were then told they weren't going to be used

Substance Over Hype

Tbt - a few months ago SOH was asked to rock America's Got Talent. We invested thousands, and many hours to perform one of our best live pieces 'The Art Of Movement. We tore the roof off... straight up'. Unanimous decision to send us to New York! The Audience and judges flipped over the power, steez, and charisma this crew brings. 2 days before we were supposed to leave the show called to say "don't know why but you're not being asked to continue."
.
Getting through to the masses with something amazing is SO HARD - but we stay at it.
.
Peace to all our current fans and friends - and ALL the artists, actors, creators who go through what we did... To taste the exposure; only to get swooped.
.
You try and try again. Until...

I put the countdown to good use on Facebook!

I love it!! I only post a video every 3 or 4 months, I don't want to make people crazy, so I understand your abstinence. I can't wait to post the video on my timeline haha.

I adjusted the bass and treble controls on my computer and the song sounds richer now.
