The problem isn't just issuing singles to radio. Years ago you could get actual CD singles (or 45s) in RECORD stores promoting upcoming releases. Record companies today need to start thinking outside the box to promote artists and their albums. Paul McCartney went with the HearMusic label because they tried different things to promote his CD than the same old stuff that EMI/Capitol would do. The internet could be an incredible (and cheap) promotional tool if used properly by record companies. The artist's own website could also be an incredible tool if used properly but most artists ignore their own sites.

I don't know what Interscope would have done either, but I feel they may have been more nimble. ~Jamie |

And press kits and other promotional items are more important to a new artist. But I used the BIG MACHINE reference because that's a company who does it right. Taylor Swift is not a good comparison for Lindsey, but just look what Big Machine/Valory music label did for the artist Jewel. They took an established artist (who wasn't exactly putting up big sales) and even changed music genres', and where'd her album end up? If you guessed number 1 on Billboard you'd be correct. With several singles doing very well at radio. But my original point was not to compare Lindsey with any particular artist. Or to say Lindsey should have signed with such and such label. I just wanted to get accross that I think Warner/Reprise is doing a lousy job. Lost Highway did a lot of promotion for Shelby Lynne's "Just A Little Lovin'", and I doubt they thought it would sell more than a hundred thousand copies. BTW, it's a great album. Bottom line for these labels is promote, promote, promote. (something Warner has failed at). |

That said, Fleetwood Mac stands to make a windfall from such an arrangement from their one last big, huge, cash-in. It should be interesting to see how it all unfolds. |
