The Better Era

[Merlin]

This has been posted on IDF for a couple days now:

this sold 2539 copies(accdg to soundscan leak!)

I was hoping for something closer to 5k but oh well. Still not too bad for an independent release.

That sales number seems low to me. She was charting all weekend in the top 10 or top 20 on iTunes with Beyonce, Drake, etc. None of the independent artists ahead of her that I could see were close to tracking that high. But who knows how Billboard counts album sales. No matter--"Better"is out, and Haley is promoting it now (with some heavy hitters in NYC!) and the tour starts soon....

And my .02 on things regarding "Better"...if "Better" the song does not get traction on the radio, I think her next best song for a single is "I Belong To You"...that song just rises and roars and it is fun to sing along with...it could be a breakthrough song for her...

The CD came today, which is amazing to finally have an actual, physical CD. However, I'm kinda disappointed that their isn't a physical booklet inside like the digital one. It's just the CD. :/

Her tour around NYC doing promo work must be orchestrated by In2unes. They may be handling much of the other promo stuff she has been doing. I don't know how much immediate impact this kind of thing will have, but Haley always makes a positive impression. Glad she has spent some time in NYC and connected with the streaming services, as well as doing some radio and a private gig or two. I wonder what the Foursquare meeting is all about. https://foursquare.com/bestof

I was going to mention this during the discussion about "Bad Light." I thought it was a reference to the corporate aspect of the music industry, not necessarily the people in hollywood trying to break in.

OMG check out Haley Reinhart's new album!!! Love love love!!!!!!

^ She's a high-school-age singer-songwriter from Virginia who fronts a band of seasoned musicians.

"Born and raised in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, SaraJane doesn’t just sing about farmer’s daughters – she is one. SaraJane's original songs are a reflection of her humble, hardworking family values which are a direct result of her every day, real life experiences on the McDonald’s bustling turkey and cattle farm. "

HALEY REINHART IS MY GIRL I SWEAR

^ He's a musician who plays the violin. Apparently graduated H.S. in 2015 (likely Rockbridge County [VA] High School)


"Kind of long so skip around if you don't have enough time to watch the whole thing. He does classical, jazz, country, bluegrass, old time, celtic and cajun in this video."
