I think this is the key. This is only conjecture, but I have felt for a long time that the major problem is that Kraig Fox got fired in May. She doesn't seem to have been treated as if she has a big advocate at Interscope. If she did, you'd figure she would have gotten more attention.
The fact is, many opportunities were squandered. They chose to release a not-so-radio-friendly track as a lead single, and when she had a chance to shine in front of the largest possible audience on AI, she was put in a bizarre bird cage contraption that made it hard to see her for half the performance (not to mention the Vegas hair she was sporting). This did her no favors, and she received no major bump in sales from the performance. After the single sputtered, there has really been no movement to release one of the two extremely radio friendly singles, "Oh My" or "Undone."
We'll see what the fall brings, but I remain mystified that most of America has no idea who Haley Reinhart is. She has everything that most lovers of music like: a great voice, terrific pop hooks (albeit a bit old school), and a face and body to die for. That no one at Interscope thought that a sexy video for Oh My would get attention is just crazy.
It's like they don't want her to be successful. Or, they want her to be successful so long as it doesn't cost any money.
