Once in a million years,
a lady like her rises.
Rhiannon you cry but she's gone,
and your life knows no answer

"Free" is the only song Haley recorded while on the Idol tour. She describes it as an "empowering" breakup song. It is -- once they heard it she was empowered to create the album she wanted to make.

That made me laugh. I envision Haley telling Interscope, "Yeah, I like this one." She records it on one of the days off. The A&R guys get it, maybe not expecting too much -- just a first recording after all. And bingo, "we got a single." They send a bunch of other songs to Haley, and she says "no thanks, I've got some songs I've been working on...."

In an interview the other day Adam said he had heard great things about Haley's album "through the grapevine." There was also a producer who tweeted her a few months ago that he heard they "were killing songs!"

I think after her album is released, Haley is going to be on the A-List. Top producers and songwriters will want to work with her and she'll have her pick of the best material.

She's gonna hit the ground runnin'

Most glowing review of "Free" to date:

Beyond its words about relationships, "Free" also marks the debut of a singer who seems bent on escaping conventions of the pop mainstream. This song could fit comfortably on pop, jazz, and even rock radio playlists. Programmers should be giving an ear to Haley Reinhart. This song will please your listeners.

Ole' Just posted @olemajorlyindie For the peeps who have been asking, @HaleyReinhart's Listen Up! releases WORLDWIDE on iTunes on 5/22. #Haliens

I can understand delaying the production and shipping of CDs for an overseas market, but I would have thought releasing songs worldwide via download would be a standard practice.

A new favorite: Haley Reinhart - Free by Interscope Records http://soundcloud.com/igamusic/haley-reinhart-free on #SoundCloud

He was a producer on a 1991 Ice Cube album: http://geniusrap.com/90s-hip-hop/ice-cub...icate.html and had his hand in similar projects in the mid-1990s. He's still a producer, but I think he does more commercial (ad) work now.
