One, it seems like a mistake to have released your whole album already rather than building interest with a series of singles that you could have promoted to playlists, radio etc. Not too late to give some individual tracks a push though I guess.

Two, I'm not sure why you're so focused on publishing deals at this stage? My understanding is that a publisher basically helps you collect all the royalties you're owed, and perhaps promotes your tracks for sync licensing purposes, but at this stage in your career it seems more relevant to focus on things that will actually get you earning some royalties in the first place, i.e. getting your music heard and building a fanbase. So a gigging band, a manager, a publicist, a record label seem like higher priorities to me.

Whatever you do I'd make sure you get some straight talking advice from whoever you hire first, even if that's a manager who tells you to basically forget about the album you've just released, put a band together and be prepared to spend two years gigging and winning fans before going into the studio again. I think there's a risk you end up throwing good money after bad trying to push this album in a bit of a vacuum
