Joe Budden's "Padded Room" Pushed Back to 2009

[h2k4]

Joe Budden’s Padded Room has been pushed back until February 24th of 09 due to complications

“Though I’m not happy about it being pushed so far back, I do understand the method behind the madness.  We’ve got an album I’m extremely proud of and a lead single that Amalgam Digital and I are both very happy with, but for those of you who are just as anxious as I am, I apologize,” said Joe Budden.

However he will be releasing a digital only album called Halfway House on October 28th with 14 new songs. It will available on Amalgamdigital.com. Some words from Amalgamdigital are after the jump about the push back of the album.


Amalgam Digital released the following statement: “There is a popular misconception that Amalgam Digital is strictly an internet label. Although the label places a strong focus on new media marketing initiatives, promotions, and distributing digital releases, the company is actually still releasing physical CD’s as well.  While Amalgam has a unique and progressive strategy, the company still faces the same issues and delays every major label encounters when dealing with physical product.  Despite the climate at retail and 4th quarter delays that prevent “Padded Room” from being released in October 2008, we stand behind Joe Budden and believe he should have the opportunity to release music to his fans. Together our proactive strategy will include releasing a digital only album from Joe Budden entitled “The Halfway House” that will be available exclusively in the digital format on October 28th, 2008 followed by Joe Budden’s “Padded Room”  which will be available in both digital and CD format in stores worldwide February 24th, 2009. The artist’s profit margin will be substantially higher on the digital release and so we urge Joe Budden fans to show support by purchasing the digital album, “The Halfway House,” direct from the website.”
