Better! The Single

[riley]

I wonder about the promotion of the song release too? Wonder how the release of the single - video and then EP will go with Ole. Assuming I have the correct order of sequences.

I know that Haley/Ole know that the dedicated Halien's are quite the resourceful bunch and are amazed - I am amazed at what you all find to be honest.

I pre-ordered it!! I will wait to hear the full song on release date..makes it more fun rather than cheating with the preview

In this clip of Better, I love that her voice wasn't smoothed over or...not quite sure how to describe it, but a lot of Listen Up! they seemed determined to get rid of the grit and rasp that make Haley so recognizable. It was too smoothed out so that it hid some of the facets and tricks she uses to convey emotion. I've never been the song Betters biggest fan, but I must admint I love this 90 seconds of the studio version!! Her voice but also the music is just wow! So much bluesy-ness I'm loving it.

Completely agree with this. All the nuances (and talent) in Haley's voice are clear as a bell in this clip of Better. It's almost as if she (and Ole to support her) said, "now THIS is what I can do with my voice" (that she wasn't allowed to showcase in Listen Up). Very hopeful for the EP. Even if I don't get to hear Better much this on the radio, I'm sure I'll be hearing it in my grocery store, and i'll take it!

Not at home to check, but word on Twitter is, they've taken it down again

Andddddd it's not on iTunes anymore.

It appears they have taken Better off pre-order on iTunes in the US. I pre-ordered it when it first appeared and the order said it would be available on Nov 13. Now my pre-order says it will be available Dec 11. Also a single named "Better" by Banks came out on Nov 4 and is featured. I wonder if these are related.

?????? Huh I preordered too not that it matters but what the heck, first listed over seas disappears and then in the US after they took orders - strange.

December 11th is a Friday. Also same night as her show with PMJ in LA. Welp, that's disappointing.

ugh...another month haha.

The single coming out December 11th doesn't allow for much in the way of personal promotion since it's so near Christmas. I believe years ago I found some data that showed people stay together for the holidays, but tend to break up after the new year before Valentine's Day. So if there is to be any push for "Better," it would probably be best if it was after the new year.
