Haley Reinhart Covers the Shirelles' Classic 'Baby It's You': Watch the Video

With the past year’s increase in protest politics, the contemporary times can’t help but feel resonant of the youth quake of the ‘60s. Noticing these parallels, singer/songwriter and former American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart embraced the culture of the era and let it fuse into her upcoming project.

On Sept. 22, Reinhart is set to release her upcoming album What’s That Sound? via Concord Records. The record is a collection of 11 covers of iconic songs from the ‘60s and features three original tracks.

Today (June 16) she's sharing the music video for her first single off her forthcoming album, a rock n' roll-style cover of the Shirelles’ sweet classic “Baby It’s You." In the video, Reinhart gives a dynamic performance of the track as she sings around a lush Beverly Hills-like mansion dressed like a decadent diva of the era. Reinhart’s powerhouse, Janis Joplin-like vocals carry the video and take the viewer back to another time.

“These songs have played a huge role throughout my childhood and career. They've left their imprint and moved me deeply -- both then and now. There is so much relevance when we look at today's life events and back to the turbulent times of the late '60s. I believe there is a heightened awareness coming back around and it's important we unite as people and bring the love back home!”
