Hello Caleb,
Thank you again for the opportunity to listen to the new songs. Great work. The guitar playing and sounds are just fantastic. Really well done. Everything is tip top. Writing, vocals, etc. And of course production.
I want to state first that I don’t know what I’m doing, clearly. And in all fairness, if I had a string of successes, I would want to be reminded that I don’t know what I’m doing. That said…
I did have the audacity to suggest editing two of the songs.
The first one is ROLL. I thought the chorus should come up sooner. In order to keep the song short I edited the intro down and I shortened the first chorus.
The second one is HOME, which I had the arrogance to retitle WITHOUT YOU (HOME). I thought the line “Without You” was super catchy so I sprinkled it through out the song. You will of course realize that in some places it would need to be adjusted to fit in. I just cut and pasted the vocals and music where I felt it should appear.
Finally, I would ask you if you have any interest in approaching labels (those with money of course. LOL). I thought of a possible way to do so. The message below can be sent to any A&R, or label executive by any person with a connection, or not (as in my case). I tailored it as if I were to send it. Though I do not know John Janick (chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records), I could send him the following. And to other A&R and executives as well. It’s entirely up to you. Perhaps, Kate Hyman would have some suggestions and could send a few herself. Or, if she agrees with the approach, it could be a joint message in some instances.
Subject: A Unique Opportunity – The Infamous HER
To: John Janick Chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M Records
Hi John,
This may be a strange request, but as the owner of the indie label Halfmoon Records & Publishing, I wanted to reach out about a band I strongly believe in: The Infamous HER.
At this time, I don’t have the resources to offer them a deal, but after extensive research and direct interaction with the band, I’m convinced that they are on the verge of something big with their upcoming (yet unreleased) album.
Why The Infamous HER?
They check every box for a breakout act, including:
✔ Incredible, catchy songs that stick.
✔ A distinct, marketable image and high-quality videos.
✔ A growing, engaged fan base.
✔ Actively touring in both the U.S. and Germany.
✔ A professional, collaborative mindset—easy to work with.
Simply put, I believe you are the best person to step in and take The Infamous HER to the next level. While I wish I had the resources right now, I’d rather see them land with someone who can truly make an impact.
I’d love for you to check out a couple of unreleased tracks from their upcoming album here:

Let me know if you have any questions—I’d be happy to share more insights on why I believe this band is poised for success.
Best,
Jean Louis
