All Things "Rabbits on the Run" Due: 06.21.11 -- Now 7.26.11?

I would love nothing more than to see her have success. I don't even care if she puts out a "sell out" song (as long as the album isn't the same). She deserves success & recognition and I say it's about time she gets it. Every album she releases gets excellent reviews. She just needs better promotion and management.

I'm now used to the fact that she'll never have mainstream success again (unless she changes her sound), but I still think she should be recognised in the industry (Grammy awards, etc).

She just needs to perform on one high profile show and her profile will shoot up and the rest is up to her.

oh me too.

i want this album to blow up. a wistful, earnest little album that takes the world by storm. or i want this to be everyone's secret favorite album. an underground darling. or something.

I do have a feeling this is a big one!  (even though I'd love to keep her to myself...the world's best kept secret).  But she deserves more than that, and a grammy is just one of those things she deserves more than others out there!  I think this will be a great accomplishment in a lot of ways, since she did do it all herself.  It will also be great to have pure Vanessa--no dilution from others.  I had a dream about the CD last night, that it came to me in the mail and it was black white and purple art (purple is my fav color so I'm sure that's why I dreamed about it!)  Any day now! (I hope).

It sounds so peaceful, dreamy and tranquil....just like she wanted. I cannot wait to hear this album! Its going to be amazing.

Has Vanessa ever confirmed that this album is coming out in the spring? I feel like I missed out on that conversation. Because if she hasn't told us specifically it's coming out in the spring I wouldn't be surprised if it came out in June.

She said a few times at her shows and on Twitter.

I have a question. Why would Vanessa finance the album if she has a label? I'm not sure how the independent label works. Is that what the artists do?

I know more about major labels.

I'm not quite sure but I figure she left her label then made that album on her own, paying for it. And when it was done looked for someone to distribute it. This way they don't have any musical direction or suggestion to give her, she's free. And she can just come with the final product and say : that's it, do you want it or not?

I'm pretty sure that's what she did

That's exactly what she did.

My friend did that - left her label, went and made her album and THEN went and looked for a deal. That way they have full creative control. I'm pretty sure if a label said "well, we like this Vanessa but could you do something else?" Vanessa would swipe the CD outta the label execs hand and say "sayonara, biatch" & strut on out. If she had signed the contract beforehand, she'd have no choice but to go back and record new stuff.

Vanessa's new video made the news on a popular British entertainment news website. I was pretty shocked to say the least!

Vanessa Carlton is to release her fourth album Rabbits on the Run independently, with a date stated as "coming soon".

The 'A Thousand Miles' singer has been working on her new album over the last few years since splitting with former labels The Inc/Universal Motown.

"To be honest, I wasn't sure if I was going to do another record," she said in a video clip posted on The Prophet Blog.

"I had to re-investigate my entire process. I basically had to change my approach to how I make music.

"Once I wrote the first song for the record I realised that this was the type of record I would have to do completely on my own. I left my label and it became a completely self-financed, independent project."

Carlton's last LP Heroes & Thieves peaked at number 44 on the US Billboard 200.

Nothing we didn't know already, obviously, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

I was watching once again the video and when it finished I looked the length: 4:26... Is a bit crazy but I'm going to say that the album will be released on April 26th

Hey..maybe!  It's near Easter, and it's a Tuesday, which is when most albums are released!

I wonder if ROTR will ever be distributed around the world since she's gone indie. I know there's pay pall and whatnot but this is going to make her fans outside US suffer a bit to get her physical CD. Just a thought. I really want to own ROTR like I do all her previous 3.
