RE: Haley making a video with Scott Bradlee and PMJ

Your Apple ID was just used to purchase "Habits (feat. Haley Reinhart)" by Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox from the iTunes Store.
$1.29 well spent. Her boundaries are limitless.

Like the message in "Free" Haley's throwback version is pure refined upbeat music, where you can actually understand the lyrics, instead of the slurred doped up dribble Tove Lo displays. Some will "nay say" and conjecture that Haley is starting to sell her morals for her career. Truth is "Habits" doesn't define Haley any more than "Eyes Wide Shut" defines Nicole Kidman. Like any artist it's but one painting in a body of work. I didn't like the song & I didn't like the way it was sung. I wondered how Haley would pull it off. I wonder no more she did a unbelievable rendition, amazing, it almost makes me dizzy it's so good. I just love Haley's eclectic nature & she never disappoints.

Lol, excuse you? It's not a glorification at all. The song is a real look at a depressing situation that Tove Lo herself experienced. If anything, the song is a warning against that kind of behavior.
And I actually prefer Tove Lo's version to the PMJ one because the mood it creates is better. Bradlee's arrangement is not nearly gloomy enough to match the lyrics. Haley's voice is fantastic on the PMJ cover but it's definitely not one of PMJ's best. :/
(And Tove Lo's delivery on the original certainly isn't "slurred doped up dribble"  She's one of the more talented people in pop music these days and you'd think that people here would be appreciative of that).
