There appears to be some renewed interest in Joey Harlow's music these days. Several record labels have shown a distinct interest, especially in his latest release "Comin' Back To You" and "Without You Here" which were released in 2021.
There can be no doubt that since several record labels have sparked an interest as of late, that it's only a matter of time before some lucky label signs him to a deal.
Harlow claims he is only interested in 'Airplay'! As he so clearly states. His counterparts have expressed an interest in development yet Harlow maintains his recordings are 'Air Ready'! and that time and money spent on development is futile.
All in all it is easy to surmise that this whole issue is the cause of the prolonged hold up on him being pleased with any offers that have come along in the recent past.
