Quote:*First and most importantly, find your songwriting niche and identify your target audience.
In writing about "stupid boys," Haley has apparently decided her market is teen girls. At least to get signed. That's who's
buying the bulk of the music these days.
Listen Up! is more sophisticated than that. So I hope she means the new music is also centered around relationships/love.
