Next album will be blusier

Honestly, the fact that he didn't have her last name on there makes me a little excited about a possible label.

They like to keep that stuff as quiet as possible. I mean sure, then don't post a photo..but they do have mutual friends.

Also..the fact that they are friends, and he's an A&R for a label she's interested in...can't be a bad thing right?

Who better to be friends with than the director of A&R for Warner Brothers! THE person who signs new talent!

Haley has said it has to be a good fit for her to go with specific label, so maybe she is taking her time, getting to know the people behind the label. Making sure they have her best interests in mind.

And they (Alex) are getting to know her. Maybe Alex is COURTING her, if you will, to join the label....

More wit and wisdom from Alex Wilhelm. Sounds very Haley compatible.

Alex has almost 33,000 followers and composed 17 tweets in May (which might be the most he has done in a month -- he has tweeted 130 times since 2010). After looking through some of his followers, I'd say 30,000 are jealous of Haley after seeing that pic (lots of aspiring artists, producers, and others in the business).

Only in LA does the agent for the apartment complex know what A&R is.. and only in LA does she hand you her demo afterwards. #NotMovingThere

People are consumed with speed rather than direction. WHERE you are headed is more important than HOW FAST you're going.

You're not selling music, you're selling emotion. Make people FEEL and CARE. Once you do that, you'll have a career.

Your client can have the best voice in the world and hit every note, but if there's no emotion in the vocal, nobody will care.

If you want to take over the world... FOLLOW THE MUSIC. Stand for something. Be authentic, unique & humble. Have substance & heart. Matter!

Yikes , all I see is Hales with chop sticks doing a funny face. slow down boys

LOL - I get excited. What can I say? I guess the other possibility here is that... You know how Haley said she was going to start meeting w/ labels? Well, she's started meeting w/ labels.

Just to go back to Tom's earlier post comparing Haley Vol. 2 as somewhat closer to "Grace Potter & the Nocturnals". I can actually see that happening more than maybe I expressed earlier.

I think Haley's new sound/image/stage presence won't be too far off from what we saw in Okinawa, especially in the "Keep Coming Back" clip. This is perfect for her IMO. It rocks, it's bluesy, Haley's more rock chic sexy than sultry here, and the interplay between Haley & John is so cool. Not to mention these are some wicked good leads by John. I know we've all seen it but here it is again...




Then I was checking out some live versions of Grace's new single "The Lion The Beast & the Beat." And I could totally see Haley going full throttle 70's classic rock chic, on some songs, like Grace does on this one. Give her a minute, she's going to come out from behind that piano at about 1:40.

By H.E.R. expression IMHO she's thinking"I can't tell anything about this
dinner then my mouth will be sealed"

[midnightblues]

Looks like the buzz is W/B and this guy Alex is a major dude in the industry and he can make it happen for Haley. Interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.
