Good as new! #studioflow

She can't mean the studio or equipment.....mayhaps a clue about the project?

Man, I wish I could get a girl that looked like that to date me .... lol

I was never hip enough for that type .. let alone talented or good looking enough.

Hi Haley! Last Kiss Goodbye has us all excited for your next album! Do you think HR4 will be a mixture of covers + originals like WTS? was, or are you looking to put out all original music?

Haley
HEY First questionnaire! Hoping to have a majority of the songs be original. Make my mark!

Hi Haley!

As a singer/songwriter, what usually comes to you first or inspires a song; a catchy song title, a melody, or actual lyrical content?

I guess a second part to that would be; how do you know when a song is meant for you to keep, or that it is one that you want to shop around to other artists? And are there any songs that you've had go to other artists that you helped write that you wish you would've kept for yourself?

Much love and good vibes. - TRock

Haley
Melody has always come first for me... I feel like it inspires the rest of the material. But there have been times where I've started with a title in mind... for ex: Check Please!

Reinharted4life
Do you have any plans on releasing your cover of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life"... maybe including it on your upcoming album? It's sooo good Haley! Please

Haley
I'm tempted to throw it on my next album.... Maybe you guys can convince me

What can Haliens expect from your next album?


Haley
It's in the very early stages. Right now I'm going through my song list and picking out my favs while writing new ones!

Hi Haley! You are one of my favorites, so glad to see good things happen for you. What was your inspiration for Last Kiss Goodbye? When you choose what to work on, do you have a strategy for how to appeal to the demographic that you see as your potential fan base, or is it really more intuitive?

Quote:
Haley
Thank you! My intuition has always led me, first and foremost. I wrote this song some years back, realized I don't have anything out there quite like this... then came the vision for the video... and then strategy with the A team! Wink

You've said that "Last Kiss Goodbye" is a song that you wanted to release as a goodie for the start of summer. Does that also mean is it a stand alone single and not on your next album or will it most definitely be on the album?

Haley
I'd like it to be on the album. Maybe as the dreamy interlude or outro... wherever feels best!

Hey Haley! As a longtime fan it’s awesome to see you continue to release new music and achieve your dreams!

I hear you have a new album on the way, hopefully this year. What makes your upcoming music different and better (no pun intended) than what you’ve released in the past?

Haley
Some of these songs will be newer... and some of them will be the hidden gems I've collected over the years and always wanted to re-record/reproduce and release!

Had a meet and greet with you in Charlotte NC last year and you were AWESOME.

My question is: You've stayed relevant since Idol, even more than some of the winners. To what do you credit the most for your continued success?

P.S. Love your work with Casey...come back to Charlotte soon...LOVE YA...TAKE CARE!!

Haley
First off hi and thank you!!!

In this case I wouldn't credit any ONE thing... I believe success comes along when you tap into ALL of your gifts/hidden talents/passions/etc... I feel blessed that I can be a part of so many remarkable projects & maintain my own brand. I also have great fans like you to thank for coming to my shows and buying my records. Thanks again!

if I had a vote I hope she puts all new unheard originals and unreleased demos from her past.

I know we kept asking for Time of My Life, but honestly I can do without it. Especially if it would take up the space for a potential unheard song on the album. Same goes for Last Kiss Goodbye, she even mentioned herself that it could be just a stand alone single like show me your moves was.

Just my 2 cents. the more the better.

I have hope that LKG signifies a direction that whatever they produce highlights her voice, some of her earlier, unreleased songs would be amazing candidates for HR4.

Yeah, it seems Haley's happiest w/ Better, her Baby, and I agree, an album more like Better with a couple songs that are just Haley w/ simple accompaniment

OTOH, from a marketing stand point, I wouldn't mind one or two covers. For a new artist, that's how you bring new ears to your music, sing something they recognise. Otherwise, I'm all good for as many Haley originals as we can get

My reading between the lines was that she was feeling pretty darn confident that she'd be able to put out more albums in the future without a huge sucess right away on each one... that she wanted it, was going to do it, and wasn't afraid it wouldn't happen.

Her responses all seemed to be about 'pacing' not at all 'if' . Like she expected to eventually release a holiday album, not 'would love a chance' .. and not like she felt it needed to be this year instead of 2 years from now.

From the way she answered the 'more commercials question' it seemed to confirm that they were a pretty good meal ticket and had more already on the way at various stages of interest.

She definitely confirmed that "Better" was her favorite and she sees others like that in her future.

... but I also took notice of how she responded to your ('Tusk') question about Spiderweb ... that it was a Rob Kleiner coopt and that she'd like one of those to get traction.

IMO, she's all about the pacing to have a firm foundation as a song writer as well as a singer and wants to be able to have made people money ... as there is a currency in that gratitude that opens other doors ( like getting recommended for a Bond movie etc... that takes some push I imagine beyond the directors whim).

I heard lots of goals and a person with plans to keep putting irons on that fire ... some of them albums for the art sake and some of them financial security and some of them influence.

Actually, my question was about "Liar" the only song from Listen Up! Haley has never performed Live ("Follow Me I'm Right Behind You" was also never sung live by Haley, but it was on the Deluxe album, which not everyone has and blocked in some countries.)

It was nice to learn that nugget about what I think is a very under appreciated song (I even made a video to the opening of a Bond film w/ FMIRBY playing, to show how it should be used as a Bond song). I think she likes colllaborating w/ Rob Kleiner.

Rob Kleiner was in the audience at the Troubadour, Haley gives him a shout out in between "Let's Start" and "Oh My!", both songs written w/ Rob
