Next album will be blusier

[Swansteel]

I have the feeling there are irons in the fire that Haley can't talk about yet, and that something good is right around the corner. My fingers are crossed that some kind of announcement is forthcoming (I'll also cross my toes and my eyes, if that helps).

[midnightblues]

The irons are hot but need just a little more heat.

If the irons are hot, the wrinkles on my grapevine haven't had any smoothing yet.

ole’s Haley Reinhart Balances Recording Career With Growing Demand As Songwriter [Ole Nov. newsletter]

(excerpts)

“I’ve always been up for it – I have always said that I want to be a songwriter as much as an artist – but I definitely like to distinguish if a song is going to be for me or for somebody else because those are two different mindsets,” explains Reinhart, who signed a worldwide publishing deal with ole in early 2012. “At the last ole pop+urban songcamp in Los Angeles, we were writing for people like Rihanna and it was pretty much the first full week I have ever spent writing for somebody other than myself, which was really a blast. Thankfully everyone that I have worked with, including producers from my last album and new ones introduced to me by ole, are all very open-minded and give me a lot of creative control. I want to be more and more involved with each session I do. I feel thankful that the people I’m working with are very open to that.”

Reinhart co-wrote all of the songs but one on her first album, Listen Up! Her performance on the record was frequently characterized as “authentic” and “distinctive” by critics. “I had to make the first album very quickly so I had in my head what I wanted it to sound like. Even though I worked with a variety of producers, there was a consistency to it. But this time I have time to go wild so I’m basically letting the producers do what they want creatively for the most part. If I know that they’re in a different niche than I am, I let them do their thing because nothing is set in stone yet, but I write what I want to write.”

There is no date-certain for the completion or release of Reinhart’s sophomore album. “It was so strange for me to not put out another record within six months of the last one,” Reinhart states. “My manager told me not to worry about production or about making everything fit together quite yet, just write great songs, so I took that advice. At this point, I’ve written so much that there’s a really solid group of songs that I would love to put on the album. It’s just a matter of tying it all together production-wise. I’m really tapping into a lot of new things, even things like ballads, which I wasn’t too hip on before – emotional type stuff and these epic, motivational songs. I’m really excited to be able to evolve. I think that’s so important for any artist.”

Adds Reinhart, who has been a regular presence at the ole songcamps in places like West Hollywood, California; Santorini, Greece and, most recently, Virginia Beach, Virginia for the ole-bluestone camp at Timbaland’s Thomas Crown studio complex: “It’s really important to know that Chad [Richardson] and Debra [Delshad] and Julie [Moe] – everybody at ole – are behind me. They’ve given me the utmost respect and it just makes me so happy to be with a team like that. Being with them, the writers and producers now, it feels less of just a team but more like a family. ole and I have had a lot of success over the past year and I’m excited to see what happens next.”

Good stuff. Thanks for finding and posting it.

This advice makes sense given people are more likely to download singles than entire albums. Haley also has the advantage of having a distinctive voice that spurs people to seek out more songs by her.

I like that advice from Chiara. Just write until you can't and give put out the best of what you have. I know some people are upset because of the unknown release date, but thisethod works out much, much better. Everything will come in due time.
