RE: "What's That Sound" - tracks, cover art and release date
As a whole, this is more beautiful than I have words for.
(I also did "morning coffee and new Haley music" - a special day!)
My favorite right now is "Can't find my way home", love that one greatly. Also some of the ones we got to know early keep their own very well in the whole I think. The ending to "Oh! Darling" is fantastic, this one lives off of Haley's voice. "Somewhere in between" is nice, should find a good spot somewhere. "Time of the Season" is good, too. "Bring the Love Back Home" - good one, love the musical quirks going on throughout. ... Some of the others, while excellent listens each in their own right, don't take me to quite the same places (some might have interesting live versions down the road I think). Having said that, as with the other albums I expect personal favorites to vary a lot between Haliens! All just early reactions, this is going to evolve!
Next to the purity of Haley's voice and the excellent, meticulous nature of this production, which has a fullness, determination and at the same time softness (the analog recording?) that is no way too much at all, it just shines, it strikes me how little this record is on the path of young mainstream music of today - it is on a different branch.
Sorry for "no Target" here in Europe ... hope the extra songs will find their way over the pond somehow!
I can't believe how lucky we are to now have 3 full Haley albums in just a small number of years, what more can one ask for! Each is unique, each a great piece of musical vision and work; together they are something that adds up to a lot. So I am just thankful.
Just a beautiful thing. Lots of listening pleasure ahead!

RE: "What's That Sound" - tracks, cover art and release date
Oh! Darling.
Haley, what have you given us?? The record is completely BEYOND my highest expectations. As someone who grew up in the late 60's and early 70's, I can definitively say that it captures the vibe, but with a modern twist. This is a true 'singers' album thru and thru, and I cannot image a set of songs that showcases her vocal prowess (and musicality) in stronger terms. Everything we love about her voice and the way she can sing is captured in this record. 'What's That Sound?' is now Haley's resume to the (musical) world. The production is truly amazing.
Call me crazy (and a risk taker), but I purposely didn't buy the Target Exclusive online, but wanted the experience of seeing it for the first time on the store shelf, buying a copy (or 2) , and popping it into my car stereo. It was a fun experience for me, except that I had 2 business calls this morning before I could quickly drive to my nearest Target. It was an awesome experience seeing her CD next to Fergie's!
Light My Fire.... oh man. So different than I expected, but also exactly what I expected, if that makes sense. NO ONE puts a new spin on a song like Hales. All I can really say about it is        Please, please sing it on tour!!!
