In November, Haley said if the album did well she would get to tour to support it.
In an article about the music industry not being busy around the holiday season, the head of an independent label said, “Our larger releases usually come out during the summer and fall during the festival touring season.”
The touring season explains the timing behind Haley's releases. They launched the single in March with the hope it would get noticed and prime the pump for the album in May. If everything went as planned, Haley would begin touring in the Summer (strike when the iron is hot and the kids are out of school).
"Free" has not done as well as they hoped.
Thus Haley has begun talking about the possibility of a Fall tour.
That means they're about to line up another single and try again.
Most likely "Oh My" since someone noticed it was on the media adds list. This could be a tricky proposition as she can't drag B.o.B. to promo gigs with her.
Haley's near-term future is dependent upon it though.
^^ They need a network TV appearance with B.o.B, maybe SNL...Definitely SNL, so she can sing two songs.
Edit, one problem with my plan:
Quote:The (most recent SNL) season officially began on September 24, 2011 with host Alec Baldwin, who returned to host for a record sixteenth time and with musical guest Radiohead and ended on May 19, 2012 with host and musical guest Mick Jagger.
