And yet another American Idol alum parts ways with their record label. This time, it’s Season 10 alum, Haley Reinhart who reportedly has split with Interscope Records and 19R after 1 album.
Haley Reinhart, the bluesy ingenue who placed third on the 10th season of “American Idol,” has parted ways with Interscope Records and 19 Recordings, a source close to the singer confirmed to Pop & Hiss on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old’s post-“Idol” debut, “Listen Up!,” was quietly issued in late May, just as a new victor was crowned. The album debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 after it logged 20,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s too bad. Although radio PDs ignored her singles and the album didn’t sell well, Listen Up! was generally received well, critically.
Recent Idols to spit with their labels include Pia Toscano, Kris Allen, and David Cook.
