Also, while I enjoyed "Listen Up!", Better album is decisively stronger in every facet.<br /><br />That said, I have learned to be cautious with acting like I know more than the lables and artists as to what is the better business move for commercial success. I know what I like musically, and am happy to give strong opinions on it, but beyond that I'm certainly no expert.<br /><br />Ole has been very good to Haley, and the pseud-label offerings they've provided have been a tremendous benefit for her. She has clearly had full creative license to go for it in the styles that fit her influences, strengths and tastes, which is something I suspect is very difficult to get from major labels.<br /><br />The only issue I have is her album gets me so hot and bothered I have to be careful where and when I listen to it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940380477441934084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755962209072512752.post-58216405854668570172016-05-20T03:41:24.611-04:002016-05-20T03:41:24.611-04:00I like the album, it's really good but Listen ...I like the album, it's really good but Listen Up! was really good too. The quality of music has never been Haley's problem, it's the marketing of her music that was her downfall at Interscope. This time around there is some improvement, at least she's on a real headlining tour unlike the last era. Radio however is still an issue. Why in the world did Haley (or her team or both) choose Better as the lead single and send it to HAC radio? Better is catchier than Free but it's still not radio friendly enough for HAC. Actually I can't think of any song on the new album that sounds like anything HAC plays. But there is a format that would play this type of music - AAA. Why isn't she being marketed there? They played Free a little and Phillip Phillip's Home was a #1 hit there. So it's not as if AAA won't play Idols. Haley is not a pop artist and her music needs to be marketed to the right audience in order for her to do well.OrthodoxBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414825120155392043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755962209072512752.post-21464390840681840672016-05-09T20:23:32.256-04:002016-05-09T20:23:32.256-04:00I suspect you agree with me, Mr. Buzz.I suspect you agree with me, Mr. Buzz.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940380477441934084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755962209072512752.post-65904829912748097122016-05-07T19:22:42.066-04:002016-05-07T19:22:42.066-04:00But what do you really think Poo...ok, so you real...But what do you really think Poo...ok, so you really like Haley!
