"Hypnotic" (remix)

[mercfan3]

Yea, I like the song. But I don't like it for Haley. Only because I like Haley to not be a part of that world...

While the remix is still up on the site linked to in the original post, it has been pulled from SoundCloud. That's probably Haley's people at work.

Complete version of the remix in the form of a Hooked On Haley slideshow:

I'm with you on that one.We already have J-Lo and Ne Yo.We don't need Ha-lo.

Thankx Hooked another great slide show.

Nice slideshow, or at least what I watched of it. I just cannot get into this kind of music, and in fact it bores me silly. It would be great if this song got lots of club play and could bring Haley some royalties. I would never buy it though (unless maybe I bought it to support her and then never play it or somethin').

This is not my kind of music, but I like this song. I like the remix. It has a catchy beat, and I think it's well written. I admit I never would have known it was Haley if someone hadn't told me it was.

But if it helps her reach more people, and get more name recognition, then more power to her. Ya have to admit, this girl can do anything. As long as she stays true to her roots, and comes back "home" to her bluesy, rock, jazzy ways, I'm ok with this.

Great slideshow from Hooked on Haley too!

PS. My daughter will love this song.

I like this song. I feel that even in the context of a techno song, haley's qualities as a vocalist come through. Nothing wrong with her doing a little something for the "masses" in order to get paid!!!

I can actually hear it being a hit if the song was given to someone like Rhianna or Sia. It fits with their electro pop vibe.

Since she wrote it if another artist records this song, will she get some of the money when people buy it?

This week's Businessweek:

The-Dream isn’t an underdog, but he plays one on his solo albums. It isn’t his likeliest role: A critically adored songwriter, he’s helped to pen galvanizing, era-defining hits for Justin Bieber (Baby, more than 3 million copies sold in the U.S.), Rihanna (Umbrella, north of 4 million), and Beyoncé (Single Ladies, 5 million-plus). Beyond that, his résumé is heavy on performers too huge to require surnames—Madonna, Britney, Usher, Mariah. He’s told interviewers that his earnings from co-writing Umbrella alone were $15 million: a staggering haul that starts to resemble a bargain when you consider that the song single-handedly enabled Rihanna’s transformation in 2007 from a semi-anonymous pop trifle into a bona fide arena-filling icon.

And yet The-Dream has long yearned to be a star himself, not merely the facilitator of others’ stardom...

...But The-Dream has yet to break fully from a vast coterie of aspiring stars who write for established acts while plotting their own ascents. Major labels once nurtured careers—each album was a brick in a larger, steadily expanding edifice—but today the industry puts as much weight on first-week album sales as Hollywood does on opening-weekend receipts. For most pop acts, “artist development” has come to mean slugging away in the farm leagues in hopes of learning enough (and scoring sufficient connections) to climb to the big time.
