Village Voice: "Nine Songs From 2012 That Should Have Been Huge"
Quote:...hundreds of songs are constantly being lobbed at radio, and some great tracks get lost in the shuffle. Last year, I critiqued the singles campaigns of recent albums, suggesting how different tracks could have been released in a different order. But right now I feel compelled to highlight some singles that simply deserved better, since by December these songs will be long forgotten in lists that boil the year in pop down to "Somebody That I Used To Know" and "Call Me Maybe."
...Haley Reinhart placed third on American Idol last year, but given the show's declining influence, that's no guarantee for success. In fact, she's probably lucky that Interscope decided to release her album at all, given that the lead single "Free" only hit No. 26 on the Adult Pop Songs chart. But the piano-driven midtempo track really did deserve a bit more love, as did season three finalist Leah Labelle's Pharrell-produced "Sexify."
