I hope they are:
getting a new manager in place
Working out all contracts
Finishing 'final' CD details
I hope they are working with a manager and the record company on the promotion package details
and handing over CD in time for the company to get it out by March. Once they hand it to the record company they can also then, during the 8 week roll-out plan, finish up videos, schedule appearances etc........
I will be worried if a new manager is not in place very soon as the manager has a lot to do with this part of the process.....I have not heard anything on that though. If there is no new manager in place I can see that slowing up everything else I mentioned above and possibly effecting the March release date.
Anyway, they have plenty to do, it's crunch time!
Fully agreed with this. There is "business" to which they must tend at this time. Nothing will happen from tonight until after New Year's. Like everyone else, they deserve a vacation, time with their families, etc. Let's hope to hear some buzz in mid-January. Then a single release sometime in February. From there we should see promotional activity everywhere and probably some leaked songs.
