Wow...I've been busy. With the help of Google, I've found two more interesting tidbits. In the "News" search thing, dated July 15, I found:
" . . . In between dating Third Eye Blind's Stephen Jenkins, Vanessa Carlton has been working on her second album, "Harmonium." No release date yet . . ."
And a normal search for "Vanessa Carlton" +"Harmonium" revealed this from TeenVogue; apparently dated July 13 (bwahaha the infamous date :twisted: ):
July 13, 2004

"If my last record was wearing a dress; this record is wearing a tank top and jeans," says Vanessa Carlton with a laugh. "That's kind of a cool way to sum it up." With the help of her boyfriend Stephan Jenkins, Vanessa says she got less fancy and more spontaneous on Harmonium (A&M), her second album, by recording in more of a rock vein. And lyrically, Vanessa says, she's matured: "You kind of grow out of the writing-in-your-diary stage. There's a period in a woman's life when you go through all these transitions at once, and I'm just coming out of that." —LIZA GHORBANI
True, this isn't really anything we haven't heard before (except for the clothing analogy), but when there's these two, plus (or rather,
especially) the first one I posted above, in such close proximity, I think it's fair to say that A&M dropping her is definitely
not the reason for the delay.
