Ole signs Haley to New Worldwide Deal! New EP!

[Miguel]

"Her new project sounds amazing!"

Given he's there, he must mean that literally.

Looks like Brandon DID record with Haley, she posted on Instagram:

I was really happy to see these tweets this evening. I knew Jacob & Quintin were shooting these in studios w/ Haley, but I was really hoping they'd feature her fronting a full band. These should create a lot of excitement for her EP. Also as far a building her YT channel, I think a great strategy would be for Haley to post a couple of these new in-studios on her channel, & then do another cover w/ PMJ w/ a mention to check out Haley's new vids or her new originals, on her channel. I think Haley will draw even more new subscribers from her 2nd PMJ cover w/ the new videos already posted.

When I talked to Jacob after Casey's show in October, he mentioned that he was hanging out w/ Casey & Haley not long before & they were talking about "who their dream band would be" (that's the way he said it too) and that both Haley & Casey said they'd want Brandon on bass, (I'm guessing Casey would rather be freed up to play multiple instruments than always be tied to the bass.), so good on Haley for getting him involved in her new EP.

One thing that's worth noting because of the Michael Jackson link to Studio D, is that Brandon has done a lot of shows, this past year, playing bass for The Jacksons in Vegas.

I woke up this morning wondering who is the producer of the EP.I suspect it's probably someone who works for the studio or someone tied to Ole. While most Haley fans don't want something that's overproduced, many performers and bands who have favorites because they can make a real difference in the final product.

While most Haley fans don't want something that's overproduced, many performers and bands who have favorites because they can make a real difference in the final product.

I was wondering about that. One possibility is Stanley Randolph. He is a drummer but also apparently has credits as a producer.

Whoever produces, it would be a mistake to mess around with Haley's vocals in a recognizable way. I'm hoping for an uptempo sound that is not overproduced and includes some hot sax and bass riffs, and perhaps some with guitar added later by Harry.

Stanley Randolph is a highly respected drummer and producer. He has been Stevie Wonder’s drummer for the last 8 years and is currently is in the middle of one of the biggest, sold out, arena tours in R&B history with Stevie as he performs one of his most highly acclaimed albums, “Songs in the Key of Life” in its entirety. Stanley has also played for Christina Aguilera, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, Chrisette Michele and many, many more.

I delighted that she has Brandon on bass. I thought he was a good fit with Haley when he played that Vegas gig with her.

@HaleysTusk @HaleyReinhart @PMJofficial Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Hope to meet him

This girl is on the verge of global, lifelong stardom

Anders is a Halien. Hearing a pro express that belief nearly brings tears to my eyes.

I was thinking of him this morning and that "Better" is a song that could benefit from having a good producer.

[Tusk]

So far, Better and My Cake are virtual locks to be 2 of the six. I think Listen will blow people away, so hopefully that's on there too. I would hope for at least 2 'new' songs, recently written, to be on the ep too.

Maybe Love is Worth Fighting for, I'm not sure, knock me out. I hope Ole does us a solid and adds a bonus song from the 1st set of leaked songs, like Follow My Heart.

[mercfan3]

I've been dying to hear Listen.

[Tusk]

I think "Listen" if it makes the EP or "Better" might be the lead single.

Maybe nothing, but I found it weird, since BGDays, when Haley debuted it, 'til today, Haley has never retweeted any of my videos of "Better" but she has retweeted different videos of performances of "My Cake"... Maybe a coincidence, just thought I'd point that out...

One time, she came close to tweeting about "Better", was when Alex (can't remember his last name) tweeted out Monika's B&W performance of 'Better' from Room5 (which I talked her into posting) as a song he, Anders and Haley wrote. Haley replied to his tweet, but didn't retweet him or that video of "Better".

Regarding "Better", which Anders Grahn has credit writing. I think it's possible, the above post by him is referring to him producing "Better" and not the songs Haley just recorded the last two days. I suppose, in this age of high speed internet, it's possible they've already forwarded all the tracks from the last two days to him to produce, I just thought it was weird his post says...

"Producing a record I made with Haley Reinhart"

"Made" as in past tense. I understand English is not his first language, so he might have got his tenses mixed up but, "made" makes me think he's now working on a song he already has, produced to put it on an EP for the public

Also, sometimes people use the word 'record' instead of 'song', as in "Producing a 'song' that I made with Haley Reinhart", which would further support he's talking about a song not recorded in the last couple days, again, likely, "Better"

"I Belong To You" by Haley Reinhart, Alex Geringas, Clarence Coffee

I recall (vaguely) Haley having a strong reaction to this song in a tweet or something, and I think it might turn up on the EP.

LOL. Tusk I know you have been coaching Anders lately on his English usage.

(it's also alliterative)
#SteeperSteps > #LongerSteps

Anders Grahn @andersgrahn · Feb 6
@HaleysTusk - Thanks! Yeah, that seems about right...
You got it though, despite my foreign attempt of creating new sayings in English

I agree he could mean different things like "producing a song I wrote with Haley ...."
