One of the Haliens on Twitter, @PJHaleyR, said she was looking through the hundreds of "Undone" covers on SoundCloud and stumbled upon this little shiskabob. Give it a listen, apparently it has been on there for like 5 months lol

It is billed as Qwuince featuring Haley Reinhart, and it says it was written by both Haley and Scotty Hills (who I think is Qwuince), and produced by Qwuince.

Gotta love late night Halien finds!

Awesome! I love the way her voice sounds on this...I'm not sure it was intended for everyone to hear considering the guy didn't make it private (which could obviously be an accident)

But it's there, for now! And it looks like it's been on there for 5 months!

Hopefully this isn't a bad thing and it's not taken down...who knows.

Thanks for putting that up PotterFan. PJ!


I had to play with the link to get it to play here. This worked:

Perhaps it's a demo -- songs for sale.

Scotty HIlls sang at his first studio recording session when he was just four-years-old. As a child, he was exposed to the contrasting styles of musical parents; his mother, an R&B vocalist, and his father a country/folk songwriter.This contrast would shape Hill’s musical path. At seventeen, Hills left his hometown of Saskatoon. His first foraying into life as a professional musician came as a drummer, singer, and songwriter for many Canadian artists. He played a pivotal role with many blues acts, earning nominations and wins of Juno, WCMA, and Maple Blues Awards.

Practically raised on the road, Hills travelled extensively through the mid Western States, Canada, and many European countries. He land in Calgary and recorded Year of Septembers, then to Vancouver Island to study jazz in 2011.This record sent Hills’ career on a trajectory that opened unexpected doors, including signing a publishing deal with Ole Majorly Indie (the world's largest independent music publisher) in 2013. This lead to a series of sessions at legendary Westlake Studios in LA, writing in a urban/pop song camp for Rihanna.This opportunity established ongoing relationships with A-list artists such as Jerrod Bettis(One Republic, Serena Ryder, Adele) and Haley Reinhart(American Idol).

Many memorable career moments include collaborations with Jordan Cook(ReignWolf), Shaun Verreault, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf), Big Leeves(JackSoul), and Tony Green (The Dramatics, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, GeorgeClinton). Performance highlights include opening for Tegan and Sara, Los Lobos,North Mississippi All Stars, The Skydiggers, Taj Mahal and Denzal Sinclaire.

Hills is described as a natural blue-eyed soul singer that smoothly interprets R&B, jazz, gospel, blues, folk, and pop to create his own style, and make itsound as if it’s the only music that matters in that moment.

In this illustrious setting Scotty had the opportunity to write with American Idol finalist and Interscope recording artist Haley Reinhart. He also co-wrote the top copyright of the camp with original One Republic drummer Jerrod Bettis, who played drums on Adele's “Rumour Has It”, and co- wrote and produced Serena Ryder's 2012 smash album Harmony.

Ole newsletter:

“We always do these songcamp deals where we let writers come to the songcamp and we co-publish what they do at the camp,” explains ole Creative Director Chad Richardson. “Allison and Clare are signed to ole now. Mynority attended the camp on the second songcamp deal, including our camp in Santorini last May. Our last two signings all did songcamp deals with us before they became ole writers. It’s a really a great tool to see what people can do and for them to get to know the company itself.

“With Scotty Hills, a friend of mine pointed him towards me. I heard one of his songs and I called up Eric Spence [ole-bluestone] and I said, ‘You know why I love my job? I’m about to call a guy in Canada [Scotty Hills] and tell him that I’m bringing him down to L.A. to write for a week.’ He did incredible work at the camp. It’s another example of how ole does some really unorthodox and innovative things to try to advance songwriters where we can.”

Says Scotty Hills: “I was really happy to go down there and know that Chad was rolling the dice a little bit on me. He had a gut-feeling about some of the stuff he had heard of mine and the experience was fantastic. It was such a team environment and immediately I felt that I was in the same room with 30 other people who were just as passionate about songwriting as I was. I had never felt that before and it made me hungry to be part of that team and to write the best songs I could write.”

A link to that story was first posted here by Tusk last October. Scotty Hills posted the song in December.

I almost don't recognize Haley's voice on this, but this song is very cool! I like it the vibe of it.

PJ is a master detective!!

[buzzenator]

Very nice find...and another interesting layer of Haley's versatility we have not heard before. The Slayer always creates and adapts.

[NUG]

I am in love with this song - I love the message of it too.

[kaypea]

Another example of putting Haley in virtually any kind of setting and have it be convincing.Nice groove and the voice is so distinctive.

I suspect it was recently opened publicly by mistake. (BTW, There's a download button on the page.)

A couple of lyrics as I interpret them:

"We crashed and we burned, we fought and we learned. Now we know we're all we need."

"See you brought your bombs, and you brought your guns, now we're in a war, where did we go wrong"
