“The single is called I Can’t Make You Love Me. It’s my first solo single and a cover of the same song by Bonnie Raitt. She's actually one of the reasons why I became a singer." My cover is quite different because the original is a ballad and my version is more upbeat."
I think its a smart move to release it in March. First shes been busy with award shows, performances/hosting..also filming and also promoting Gunday..
By March she would have more time to properly promote her single
Also...most reality shows goes live around that time..like "American Idol" and "The Voice" it would be great thinking to promote/perform the song LIVE on tv..plus you got the Billboards awards in May. Releasing it now wouldn't work unless she has TV appearances...I also think when the single gets release they might put the album up for pre-order.
