I disagree that working hard on music no longer appeals to her. It's basically all she's ever done. It's what she's been doing since at least 2014, albeit gradually. Although most of that has not been introduced to the public (she has performed her "newer" songs in a few concerts, over 3 years ago most recently), certainly not on an album, she still did it. They were beautiful songs. There are many somewhat independent artists who still release their music on places like Amazon, Itunes, and other similar sites. I know, because I've bought some of their albums, digital and physical. If she were to release even 3 songs, I'm sure she would regain some success with doing just that. She may have to gradually work her way back up, but it's certainly not impossible.

Well Dori, if you're right about that then we're all waiting for nothing. Mind you, I've had that feeling for a while now.

If I knew 8 years ago that, after a less-than-satisfactory album, we would not have an album 8 years on from that, I would probably have had a conniption.  So, it's a good thing we don't know the future. In that case, we don't know right now whether there will or won't be an album 8 years from now (but if we have to wait even 5 more years, we might as well forget it!). Well, until we have a definite statement from Hayley saying she's done forever, I will continue to log on to this forum. Even then, I will still follow her on SM as long as she is on there. |

I'm so pleased Hayley was part of that concert. I really like this new song! I think I'll need to listen to it a few more times to really get the words but it is really good. I hope she is able to record it soon like she said in the short interview afterwards. It's just so nice to see her again and hear her voice (both singing and speaking.) I think she looked nervous at first but she hasn't really been performing much in public in a long time so that's not surprising at all. I really hope we start to see more of this sort of thing. I think the more she does of this the more it will encourage her and give her more reassurance (if she needs it) that she can do this. It must be pretty daunting in many respects after all this time.
I wonder if some of her being quiet on social media etc is still wanting to be singing etc but keeping everything else private, particularly relationships and family matters. I can't blame her for that at all to be honest with how judgemental people can be these days. One mistake on social media leads to all sorts of drama and things these days. I also feel I can't keep up with all these changes and new platforms on social media I wonder if that has been the same for her too- I notice things like tiktok- are so popular now and seem to be where most attention lies. I just can't keep up with it to be honest. I hope she keeps posting on Instagram though and sharing some things with us, even just cups of coffee etc for us to see she is ok more than anything else.
I really hope we can hear a recording of this new song soon and we can get the lyrics. It would be interesting to hear more about it's inspiration although I think we can guess.

Me too Libby! (I don't log in that much anymore but I do look at it as much as I can.( If we have more news of an album/ more music etc I'll definitely be logging in more.) I really hope she is able to record something this year, even if it's just a download rather than a physical album it would be amazing. I know of quite a lot of independent artists who never release physical albums these days but they do release downloads quite often. I really hope we have something in less than 5 years. I just hope the pandemic hasn't set things back too much, I know it has had a huge impact on the music industry. I'll keep following her on SM as long as she is there sharing things with us. |

Well, well, well. It would appear her music career is far from over! That was an amazing new song! More comments on that in the other thread.  |

I’m following Hayley on SM, I wasn’t coming on here much as there was not much happening. I hope we get to hear the new songs soon. I always thought Hayley was recording a new album and writing songs and then things got in the way and then corona so hopefully soon, more new songs 🙏

I think in the interview, she said Bic was encouraging Hayley to continue with her album! I think that's what she meant, but not sure. Here is a combined video of the song and interview. I posted it in the concert thread, but since this was on social media, I'll post it here, too: https://www.instagram.com/p/CL38clpHmM5 |

Hayley shared a map of NZ under tsunami warnings caused by several dozen earthquakes in the ocean, east of the North Island and in the Kermadec Islands region, north of NZ. The latter experienced a magnitude 8.0 quake.  The image below is from an earthquake app showing the locations of the quakes...  EDIT... Hayley just aded another story!  |

The first one won't show up for me. Earlier, it showed she had a new story, but when I clicked on it, it was completely black and said the story could not be loaded. On my PC, I clicked on her story circle, and nothing would happen. But luckily this newer one is there now.  I saved the video this time.  |

May well be going to Auckland, Joe. If not then that is interesting! |

Well, she was in Auckland another time not too long ago. It could be Auckland, but if it is, maybe it's to work at Roundhead studios again? I just think she knows that if she posts a video of herself flying in a plane, her fans are going to think it's for something exciting. So, if she was just going to visit her friends/sister in Auckland, would she show herself travelling there? Maybe, but last time she just said hello Auckland, or something like that. But then again, I thought New Zealand was in lockdown... has that ended now?
