Quote:What can we expect in the future for Haley Reinhart after this album?
After this album, hopefully a Grammy. I really do hope something great comes out of it and that people connect with the music and they feel like they can connect to it and feel good about it like I feel. The sky’s the limit!
Shh! Haley, keep your hopes on the down low -- people love to knock others down.

Quote:"I told them, 'I want to wait ‘til after the tour to write part of my first album. You guys are giving me the experience of a lifetime, the opportunity of a lifetime. So I want to make the very most out of that, and be able to be a part of it all.'"
With the blessing of Idol mentor and Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine—asked in jest if the notoriously mercurial mogul has driven her to a nervous breakdown yet, Reinhart slyly quips, "Not even close," without missing a beat—Reinhart got her wish.
And the album was worth the wait. Sounding, she aptly describes, as "retro yet very modern at the same time," Listen Up! boasts a bunch of funky-fun, irresistible grooves.
"I’ve grown up with good music. I don't take it lightly," says Reinhart, whose parents frequently had classic rock and soul records spinning on the family turntable during her childhood. "It sticks with me and I’m influenced by it."
..."A lot of people nowadays, they like to be pointed in a certain direction. They like to be told which moves to make when," Reinhart insists. "As for me, I know exactly where I want to go."
