I wonder if there are a lot of fans of Hayley in Bellevue, WA. There are some small venues there that might work for a Hayley concert, if she ever felt like coming here. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifIf Hayley played in Bellevue, the audience would definitely have a beautiful view!

Here you go everyone. Full track of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGGDfc9gerQAlso here: soundcloud.com/#deccarecords/hayley-westenra-hushabyelol You could knock me down with a feather. Sort of wasn't expecting this at all as the first released promo track. Pretty though. But a little confusing to be honest? Until now, I wouldn't have thought a lullaby album was on the cards. Looking forward to an interview or something explaining the inspiration behind this album. |

Hello Taylor and Jillian and everyone, Interesting!  It's still drip... drip... drip... though, we need more information!  My Chitty Chitty Bang Bang guess was right, though, several others we've guessed, too i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifCheers, Dave |

Hi Dave,
It seems that we know the following:
Tracks: Twinkle Twinkle, Hushabye Mountain, Dream a Little Dream of Me, All Through the Night.
Catchwords: Soothing, tranquil, bed time favourites, peace.
Judging from the write-up, I would hazard a guess that this will be a relaxation album.

Hi Jillian, Yes indeed, just don't mention the "B" word! Dave |

Great find, Taylor!  I've posted the news on our Facebook page with a direct link to your most recent post in this thread. From what we know about the tracklisting so far, I'll be surprised if this album qualifies for the classical charts, but there could be more surprises in store.  Richard |

A fantastic album cover and let's hope the contents match it. I'm undecided about "Twinkle twinkle" but want to hear the entire album before making any conclusions. As Jillian states it will be interesting to hear what Hayley's inspiration was behind the album and I would also like to know what Decca sees as the market for it. Time will tell! Martin |

Perhaps this is Hayley's foray loosely into New Age music, who knows? Many would argue with that - but she's already dabbled in it occasionally (I could perhaps compile an album of New-Agey Hayley tracks) and she is already listed on the Wikipedia New Age Music Artists page! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_New_Age_music_artists But... we need to know more! Cheers, Dave |

This is exciting news- love the cover, although the track listing wasn't quite what I expected!- Just wish I could hear the samples haha!  This news has certainly cheered me up after having my phone stolen and the subsequent panic attack it caused this morning I can tell you!! I've recently created a google + page in support of Hayley- I've shared the news there, I hope that's ok- here's the link if any of you would like a look? It's mostly just photos and youtube videos I've shared on there. plus.google.com/u/0/b/116069223722839663441/116069223722839663441/postsSing  |

I like this news, and I like how Twinkle sounds... On the genre, well, I think there might be some variety, and even not every lullaby will be as soothing as the one we've been allowed to hear as a preview. Dream a little dream of me for example, has usually been sung with a jazzy feeling to it,

Wow, I must admit I did not think I could enjoy Twinkle Twinkle Little Star that much. It's a relief she didn't use the alphabet lyrics! -Rory |

I have to say I like "Twinkle", sounds beautiful and calming. Nice simple arrangement. So far so good I would say. I would hope that most of the tracks are unnamed so far simply because we wouldn't recognise them (that's code for saying they are new Hayley compositions).

Hi again everyone, Just to confirm what we've already deduced, Bandana have confirmed to me this afternoon that, finally, that is the official sleeve, the correct title and the album will be released on 17th June in the UK. Decca are currently working to set up media interviews for Hayley, further details of these and the album will emerge over the next week. I haven't so far managed to obtain the track listing though so eyes peeled everywhere, everyone! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifCheers, Dave |
