Candice Glover's "Music Speaks" Delayed Until February 18, 2014

Debut album release month
As expected the lack of any buzz meant that Candice Glover's Music Speaks" album will not be released next Tuesday as planned, but will be delayed and released in February 18. 2014. Of course, this is not from an official announcement but was leaked via a tweet from someone over at BillBoard:

This makes hers the latest winner's album to be released after a Spring American Idol run and the second latest release among all winners and runners up since Season 2 (Season 1 ran over a summer so it is a weird exception.) The only Idol winner or runner-up to release later the following year of the show was Jessica Sanchez when she released "Me, You & The Music" back in April 20, 2013 (and we all know how well that album sold!) Here is a list now of all the winners and runners up since Season 2 and the actual date of their releases (updated from my own previous blog posting):

10/4: Scotty McCreery "Clear As Day"
10/11: Lauren Alaina "Wildflower"
10/14: Clay Aiken "Measure of a Man"

11/11: David Archuleta "David Archuleta"
11/15: Carrie Underwood "Some Hearts"
11/16: Lee DeWyze "Live It Up"
11/17: Kris Allen "Kris Allen"
11/18: David Cook "David Cook"
11/19: Phillip Phillips "The World From the Side of the Moon"
11/20: Jordin Sparks "Jordin Sparks"
11/23: Fantasia Barrino "Free Yourself"
11/23: Adam Lambert "For Your Entertainment"

12/4: Blake Lewis "Audio Day Dream"
12/4: Crystal Bowersox "Farmer's Daughter"
12/7: Diana DeGarmo "Blue Skies"
12/9: Ruben Studdard "Soulful"
12/12: Taylor Hicks "Taylor Hicks"
12/13: Bo Bice  "The Real Thing"

1/30: Katharine McPhee "Katharine McPhee"

2/18: Candice Glover "Music Speaks"

4/30: Jessica Sanchez "Me, You & The Music"

The other missing person, of course, is last season's runner up, Kree Harrison, who has also disappeared from the face of the earth (maybe she is out looking for Candice!) Hopefully given more time they can actually find a good single for each of them and they can both have an album released in 2014 with some real promotion!

I created a new graph of the release months for American Idol winners from Season 2 through Season 12. now with Candice's newest release date added. Of course, now that it has been delayed twice, the album may also simply vanish all together once 2014 arrives.
