You guys realize that it's not the artists who seek out companies to get tie-ins? Both the creators of HYD2 and Last Friends ASKED Hikki to do songs for them.


Are you serious with this? Have you ever hear the first two albums of Hikki's music career? Distance anyone? That is so mainstream American it's not even funny.
First count: True, but tie-ins can make or break an artist. Good tie-ins=lots of people hearing your music. If you make a catchy song for those good tie-ins, you're golden. And, that's exactly what she did for HYD2 and Last Friends =/... Proof is the sales of FOL and Heart Station.

Second Count: Not current mainstream imo.
