The Better Era

[john]

I like that the rankings of songs I've seen here and elsewhere are so diverse.

Here are some top three rankings from people who have listed their preferences on HF and on IDF:

Bad Light
Talkin About
Check Please

Talkin' About
My Cake
Behave

Check Please
I Belong to You
Listen

Bad Light
Better
Listen

Behave
Listen
I Belong to You

Can't Help Falling in Love
Better
Listen

Listen
I Belong to You
My Cake

I think the album is deep enough that many of us will find nuances and surprises in specific songs that win us over and personal preferences will sometimes change. It's music to explore.

As far as what should be the next single, my perspective is to let it emerge. Currently on itunes IBTY and Listen appear to be the leading contenders, which makes since to me. They are both 4 minute songs, which is long, but if they are the preferred songs, so be it. My Cake and LIWFF are in the mix at this point.

Hopefully this week the album with get some media attention. That should be fun.

Yea I'm talking about outside that music video post, like a specific "Haley's album was released today" post. Just thought it would've been mentioned on the day of the release or in the headlines article; to make viewers aware.

I did notice that. Perhaps it's because Haley didn't make the album available for live streaming. If she did I'm sure MJ would've created a post for it with the stream embedded so that everyone there could listen to the album right on the page and comment on it.

It's unlisted and belongs with this apparently.

.@HaleyReinhart's Sophomore Album "Better" is Finally Here (and it's GOOD)
http://www.mjsbigblog.com/haley-reinhart...y-here.htm

I just checked out the album out and it’s the singer’s best yet. Haley brings back funk, soul and rock sounds from 60’s and 70’s, with a contemporary twist. The result is totally FRESH and sexy–Haley sounds better than ever. A+ songs, the band she’s assembled is incredible. It’s amazing what an artist can accomplish without a major label breathing down their necks...
