Has this ever happened before? Where an artist signs with a new label, and does no officially their songs for an incredibly long time?
The only time I've ever seen this happen is in S Korea. Before they officially debut, some of them are featured in songs. Maybe that's what they are doing. Giving people a chance to know her thru someone else.

Taking myself for example, this marketing strategy is working. Maki was in H!P and while popular I was put off by her being in H!P. Just mention that an artist was from H!P and I would shut off. I wouldn't be a fan of Maki's if I hadn't heard Fly Away.
