Mayfield interviews Haley in academic setting (lengthy)

[XAtlantic]

I must say, I am very taken by this interview. It offers me a whole new level of understanding of who Haley seems to be as a professional and as a person, and I really like what she says, and how clear and conscious she is about it. I am particularly taken by her thoughts on not going the fashionable "singles only" route (at 33') but is emphasizing larger units of work. That is not nostalgia for the old times and LPs, it is about what the product is when you're an artist, whether it's feeding the machine or creating a larger work ("a full body of work that makes sense", she says). I am glad she thinks this way. But more generally, too, this interview totally reinstates, or rather reinforces, my belief that she knows exactly what she is doing and that supporting her means joining her in her patience. Excellent.
