RE: Nobody home?
There are a lot of interesting posts on this thread. Lotta fun to read. I've actually been more excited by what's happening right now w/ Haley than I was most of last year. Because I think Haley's no longer in Limbo. Even though she can't tell us specifics yet, it seems pretty clear that she's found a new home(s).
I went back & looked at this quote Haley made in the Nov. Ole newsletter & I think you can tell quite a bit from the first two sentences.
Quote:“My manager told me not to worry about production or about making everything fit together quite yet, just write great songs, so I took that advice."
Haley said this in Nov. about her "manager" who said this to her sometime before that. (It could've been early in 2013 or even as late as Aug. or Sept.) I don't think the manager she's referring to is Chiara. I think it's either someone above her at 19 or Chiara's current boss, at Boardwalk, Evan Bogart (who's also a Grammy winning songwriter & founded something called The Writing Camp). It could've been someone at Ole but it sounds to me like the "manager" was going to be the person pitching Haley's demos to the label(s)
"At this point, I’ve written so much that there’s a really solid group of songs that I would love to put on the album."
The way she said that, sounds like she didn't have a label at that point. I'd LOVE TO put on an album (if we can get a label interested)
That quote from the Ole newsletter in Nov., seems to support the idea that the, "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" tweet from Chiara, meant they found a label interested in putting out a record w/ Haley. That doesn't necessarily mean that Haley's just going to record all of those demos & off we go though...maybe but... They may want Haley to work on some of the songs &/or use the best ones & have Her collaborate w/ some different writers on some others. So she could be working on her new material the rest of the winter & spring.... or she might have everything done in two weeks... who knows.
Assuming she's working w/ a label (& I think it's a pretty good bet), what's different now from 2013 is that she'll be (once again) working w/ a producer(s), possibly more writers & maybe even collaborate w/ a few different artists on this record.
What I hope is that she'll take as much time as she needs to come out w/ another really good record. I don't need new music right now from Haley. I'd like really awesome new music from Haley when it's ready. Time isn't of the essence. Unlike quite a few S10 finalists, she's already put out her post Idol debut, & it was a good one too. Haley's doing fine on time. It's not the 11th hour, the bell is not tolling, the sands of hourglass... something something.
Anyway, that's my take on what's happening w/ Haley at the moment.
