Waking Up To Hayley Taylor
Ladies and gentleman of the United Kingdom and Europe, I would like to introduce you to Hayley Taylor, singer, songwriter and guitarist. With this, her debut EP we are waking up to yet another brilliant female voice in the music industry.
It is hard to try and say what her music style is, other than beautiful, and majestic. But Hayley says "My sound is kind of, indie/alternative/folk-rock and I just want to share my experiences and express what I have to say." Her music is already somewhat recognisable having been used in commercials and on some movie soundtracks over in the USA.
'Orange Tree' and 'Falling' take us into the bittersweet reactions that we have all felt when involved in a frustrating relationship. Hayley's Hollywood connections can also be seen on the EP. 'What I Never Said' is a great ballad, which was inspired by the death of her friend, former teen heartthrob Jonathan Brandis of "SeaQuest DSV".
'This Is It' sounds like a song that could easily belong to Fiona Apple or KT Tunstall, a great acoustic number, not over powering, something that any Radio DJ would feel comfortable playing on a weekend in the hope of relaxtion and enjoyment. As for 'Rafael' I have heard a critic say that you could mistake this for a Norah Jones track, and I cannot argue with that point, with a heavy bass, but acoustic blending in with the piano to make a wonderful ballad.
Ending with 'What Matters Most', a bittersweet song filled with hope for the future and bitterness of the past Hayley reminds us what state the world is in at the moment and then gives us her Beatles moment "What really matters most is love." Who can really argue with that?
I have no doubt that Hayley Taylor will be a star, I hope that her music gets the wider audience it really deserves. That is why I am asking you all to buy a copy of her EP or listen to it on myspace Myspace/hayleytaylor or have a look at her website
