Haley signs with 19 Recordings / Interscope

It's finally official!  The spotlight's hitting something that's known to change the weather.  Yes, it's tested the patience of Haley fans everywhere, but had the inevitability of this ever been in doubt?  You just knew it's going to happen (didn't you?) when Haley was 'mum' and would neither confirm nor deny the rumors whenever it was brought up during an interview, but dropped subtle hints such as that she's been writing music on the bus while city-hopping on the Idol Live tour.  And why else would she be writing new material if it wasn't for a new album?  All the same, congratulations Haley!

So what type of album could we expect from our favorite Idol?  Would it be the "sultry bluesy rock" à la HOTRS that Haley hinted the day after being prematurely booted from the show, with perhaps a dash of jazz, soul and R&B thrown in?  Interscope is the perfect fit for Haley; Jimmy Iovine had worked with Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, U2 and Dire  Straits among others.  For the most part, I believe he had also given Haley sound advice throughout the season.  My favorite is when he told her she should put some ooomph into 'Get Up!' during her performance of Carole King's 'Beautiful' for Top 6 week as if she's trying to get her lazy boyfriend or future husband (lucky bastard!) to get off the couch.

Haley said she will take her time working on this album and not rush its release just for its own sake.  It'll be a hard wait for us fans but all good things are worth waiting for, right?  So stick around, cus' we'll all be hearing electric music and solid walls of sound before too long.  Stay tuned.


Here's lookin' at you, kid!
