Haley Reinhart IS a business now, and it may be that these types of songs are the money makers that afford her the luxury to make 'her' type of music (whatever that may be-- personnally I'm not sure what that is yet).
As I said on the other thread-- Ole call Hollywood!!
I agree that this Extra Gum song may be a game changer for Haley. But, I still wonder if Haley is getting strategic direction or guidance from....anyone? Does she have a manager or an agent? She is not signed to a label, although Ole is obviously supporting her in some ways like a label. And, I know she is connected with big name lawyer Dina LaPolt.
As noted, she is becoming a "business" now so I am hoping that someone in her circle (or someone new perhaps...) starts taking the reins a bit to move her to the next level.
