The upbeat, piano-driven single features a healthy dose of traditional pop music blended in with jazz. Add in her old-school, bluesy voice, which is deceiving because she’s only 21, and you have a recipe for a unconventional-sounding single, one that we definitely think can be a hit record.
Haley leaked the song — which you can stream on her Facebook page or just scroll down to the bottom — but it hasn’t officially been released yet. You can buy the track on March 20.
As for the album, it drops on May 22 and expect a collaboration from one of ATL’s finest: B.o.B.
