For those wondering what a Rob Kleiner/Mozella collab sounds like:



And, yes, I am now SUPER EXCITED to see what they put together with Haley!

WOAH, Haley's voice would sound amazing in that!

I didn't see this posted, but maybe I just didn't look back far enough! Did we know this was posted?!


I love it, based on this lower quality recording! I think when it's got production on it and it's got full band it's gonna be great. The backing music sounds very Adele/Amy Winehouse to me It's very retro sounding, which makes me happy.

Yeah, it's somewhere back there. It also has it's own thread and I think is also in the post-idol and Free threads but it never hurts to post it again just to make sure people know about it.

Also amazing! I really hope that she ends up recording this for her album as a bonus track or something. Idol contestants have done that before, released a cover as a bonus track. OR they can include it in the iTunes release of "Free". Two songs to hold us over til May

Oh okay! Thanks!

But nobody has posted the video here (or of Free for that matter).

So, let's do that:

Neal Avron - wiki, Sound On Sound article

Some here wanted a few tunes on her album with more "rock" influences. To me it's exciting to read his bio on Wiki.

Working predominately in rock music....Avron created headlines in 2010 when he mixed and/or produced each debuting number one album on the Billboard 200 for three consecutive weeks; Disturbed's Asylum, Sara Bareilles' Kaleidoscope Heart, and Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns.[3] Avron later received recognition for his production work by receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Sara Bareilles' singe "King of Anything under the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance category.

Genre: Rock, alternative rock, pop punk, soft rock, heavy metal, alternative metal

Hoping for a very eclectic mix of tunes on Haley's debut album .

'American Idol's' Haley Reinhart Talks New Album, Guest Stars (Exclusive)
The season 10 finalist's debut is due out in May. THR got an early listen.

The Hollywood Reporter got an early listen at the yet-untitled full-length (due out in May) and all its retro goodness -- songs like “Oh My,” a mid-tempo number featuring big horns, tambourines and echoing drums, “Keep Coming Back,” with its sexy vocals distorted ever so slightly, and “Undone,” a teary ballad worthy of “diva” designation, what with its piano-led melody, soaring vocals and strings. But perhaps the song that best serves Reinhart’s soulful sound and vibe is “Wasted Tears,” which, with its groovy bassline and girl group-esque “woos” sounds like it came straight from another era.

THR: You recorded at many different studios with producers and songwriters like Busby, Mike Elizondo, David Hodges, Sam Hollander and Luke Laird and Rob Kleiner, the latter who produced most of the tracks. What was the studio experience like? Did you feel comfortable?

New name

THR: B.o.B. provides a guest rap on “Oh My,” how did that come about?
Reinhart: The label hooked it up. We went through some fill-ins and then they asked me, “Who's your dream rapper?” So I thought, I love Andre 3000, he would be the coolest ever. And then there's people like Lupe Fiasco or Common who have this very sultry vibe. B.o.B. was new to me, but the more I hear him and from everybody I talk to, I think he's so cool. Right when I heard it, I was like, “Geez, this is perfect.”

[Tusk]

Wow an interview chock full of substantive info...

Depth on different levels is so important to me. You look at a band like The Beatles, all their material has so much depth to it. And I want people to be able to run away with my melodies and get lost in them and take the lyrics and be able to relate to them

Well, you never know how it's gonna work out. And they kind of act surprised when they're dealing with me. They're, like, “Things don't usually go this smooth” or “people don't usually come in knowing exactly who they are and what they want.” With the songwriting process as well -- I've always been a songwriter, I’ve just never really had the chance to get in a studio and execute it. So the more I go in and say, “I want this vibe this and this to be the topic,” then the more it comes out sound like me.

I'd rather have people really be able to step back and get their money's worth and look at me as a true artist than somebody who is just regurgitating other material.

THR: So you're a romantic?

Reinhart:A hopeless romantic, yes. [Blushes]

And now there is some material to be more anxious for this album....

[Tusk]

Casey tunes didn't make the cut. Oh well.

The good news, though, is he contacted her and she's open to helping Casey with his album.

We're definitely going to be doing stuff together. And he has asked me about his album as well so if time permits, we'll be definitely and matching

I'm a fan of Casey, but I am kind of glad her first album is Idol free.

I'm guessing that the right Luke Laird. On American songspace his genres are listed as "Singer/Songwriter, Country, Urban/Hip-Hop/Rap".

[DiAnAmItE4LiFe]

OMG B.O.B IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER, I AM FLAILING.

...don't mind me

[shelack]

Also a new song...at least I don´t remember that it was mentioned before "Keep coming back"

[milesdavis]

I had them learn the Allman Brothers’ "Whipping Post," Sly & the Family Stone "Sing A Simple Song" and then a little bit of "Freddy Freeloader," a jazz tune.

Wow, she know one of my song "Freddy Freeloader," from Kind of Blue album.
Kidding aside, this girl has so much depth in her songs knowledge.

[Haleyitis]

B.O.B. is on the album?!!?!

He is a fresh and relevant talent in hip hop.. it will do wonders for getting more people to pay attention to Haley.. I am really surprised they managed to get him to appear.. He's not an Interscope artist, so it really shows that Interscope is going all out for our girl. I'm so damn exicted right now..
