I'm not sure she mentioned a specific time period in 2014, just that it would be coming next year. Realistically, a single should be premiering very early next year if the album is going ahead next year.

I agree with Patrick that it will take a long time for any single to take off if at all. Some singles take at least 4/5 months and that's with an ideal promo schedule. So if she started with the single in February, that would take her up to July/August time for it to take off. Most successful albums in the US are paired with at least one big song. Alex needs to make that happen or any album would flop.”

I'm sure she said early next year on a radio interview, but then said no date has been set yet. So if its early next year a single needs to be coming in the next month or so.. Tbh I think it's more likely to be later on in the year so the first single can be launched early 2014.

I don't think she looks that good tbh. But thats a matter of opinion. I think its just the angle of the pic etc her face looks weird

I ain't happy with the label news. I hope it's not true.

Why aren't you happy with that label? :/
Sylvia Rhone has a proven track record. More than proven.
Most people these days are signed to subsidiary labeles under major labels which would be the case if this little rumour is true.

A lot of you guys are so stuck in the status quo of how things are done that you don't see the bigger picture.

lol I agree I don't see any harm in this. I think it could be quite good. All labels started somewhere.. We're lucky it's not JoJo's CoutureMusic....

Most peo”

I'm concerned about the budget and scope of that label. The artists on there aren't exactly success stories.

It did only launch in January. You can't expect their first few artists to blow up just like that.

Interesting read about the label http://www.billboard.com/biz/article...ted-in-culture

True. But it depends on the act in question. I didn't like Kat Dahlia at all, and I've known about her for months. No idea she was signed to them at all. I get the All Access emails and her single Gangsta was sent through the promo rounds MONTHS ago, as one of the 'new acts to watch'.

I LOVE THIS. Sounds like a label who will give Alex a bloody chance and cater to her needs. She can still converse with LA and be with this powerhouse Sylvia

But I'm curious.. Do we think JoJo has a label launch under epic today? And Alex is his first artist? It seems like JoJos venture could be that

Interesting. Glad to see she is one of the artists on the CD cover as well.

hmm not sure if the greatest hits text came from syco but amazon kinda put her down as a 2nd tier xfactor act as opposed to "one of the most succesful"...

I know!! I was baffled maybe it is Alex's label? Maybe he's fronting the label now? I'm really confused but I need this report on his new venture

Unless L.A is leaving Epic to restart LaFace with Babyface, I just think that this is Alex's way of giving us a hint.

LaFace has been defunct for years, so I think it's a hint for either Epic or VestedInCulture. But we'll see, anything is possible after all. But who'd have thought that after HOH we'd be having these types of discussions. It's an exciting but also a crucial one. Hope she has made the right decisions this time.

Something seems to be happening though. David seems to be talking about something Alex related with his latest cryptic tweets. Very mysterious at the moment, but I think the new label has been finalised now. It's just a question of them letting us know.

What I don't get about Alex sometimes is how she highly rates some fans to others. Fair enough I understand they have met her before so have a deeper connection, but you know...

ATM I'm glad she's just getting on with it and boom! Comes back with the single. It's all about the single quality and the image imo. She has the fashion in her out-and-about on point, it's the stage which needs to be on point.
