I've made my issues w/ MJ and how she runs her website known, BUT one thing I enjoy is reading the posts of a long time poster there. He often has a very leveled opinion, usually knowledgeable, always thoughtful....and he's a closet Halien

Not that he's hiding it, more a quiet appreciation (at least I think Incipit is a he?)
Anyways, He has always something positive and enthusiastic to say whenever a Thread is started regarding Haley.
MJ Posted a Thread about Haley's new single The Letter
and here's Incipit's thought on the single

Yeah, I wasn't sure what Haley was planning to do with this, but I like it a lot! The original has a bit of a laid back groove, the instrumentation on this retains the rhythm, but drives the tune forward relentlessly.
I like covers that can show me something new, a fresh way of looking at a song...Haley delivered a full bodied celebration approaching, the excellent vocals peaking sonically as the song's narrator drew level, and then blew right past us waving her letter, on the way to "going home", with the music trailing off in her wake
I was particularly pleased that she did not screw with the phrasing and thus kept the rhythm intact, which has not always been the case with covers of this song. TBH, I was already fully on board at the point where she articulated "aeroplane". Yes!
JMO. Of Course.
Always enjoy reading his posts
