Oooh!!! I like the title! Ok, rewind - I LOVE it. Reminds me of the that song "Dream a Little Dream of Me" and "I Dreamed a Dream"! And it also connects back to the "lullaby" theme, but not quite so... uh... lulling?  Yeah, it's an awesome picture, but I don't think it's quite right for an album cover for Hayley. It kind of says, like, "Hi, I'm Hayley and I'm really pretty! Buy my album!!" That's not what her covers are like. They're kind of nonchalant, alluring, and mysterious. Her eyes usually appear to be cast down, to the side, or off in the distance, like she's or deep in thought, or slightly aloof, toying with you.  And even with the exceptions (i.e. HSJS 2, Treasure), it seems there's deeper meaning in her expression, like there's more there than just a pretty smile.  -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Well, she is really pretty, and everyone should buy her album! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif But I'm kind of imagining that photo as on the booklet, on the inside of the CD case. So, maybe the first photo you see when you open the CD case. That photo doesn't seem to leave much space for an album title, artist name, etc., without getting lost in the design of her dress, or running across her forehead or something. Maybe it would work across her neck, but that would look strange, I think. So, I think you're right, Taylor. I just listened to the song Dream a Little Dream of Me, by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong. I thought it was a very nice song, pleasantly romantic. And I think it would suit Hayley's voice very well, if she wanted to try it. I also saw in searching that Michael Buble has also covered the song! If only.... you know what I'm thinking of, right? Dreaming a little dream of Michael singing it with Hayley, that's what! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

I wonder if this will be more of an upbeat album -- particularly if they are releasing bright and smiley photos like that.
I can only think of one or two other album photoshoot pics that are as cheerful as that shot.

I love speculating too Libby and that photo must have come from the new album photoshoot. My point was that someone must have supplied them with that photo so even though its not an album cover it must be part of the album artwork and who else but Decca could have supplied it? Unless there is another way they could get the brand new photo. I also love the idea of 'Dream a Little Dream' or something about dreaming. Also love the new photo, and dress, I'm also guessing indoor shoot. So excited for this new album.
Also on the subject of dream didn't hayley recently have that Oscar Wilde quote on her twitter about dreaming 'I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world'. I'm probably reading too much into it, but still, could be to do with the new album.

This is all part of an evil plot by Decca  someone casually throws out an album title to see how Hayley's fan base reacts to it  I'm actually more intrigued by the 1960's style photo shoot and what that might tell us about the album. On the subject of photo shoots. They take a lot of time and effort to set up and they will use a top photographer who will earn every penny of his considerable fee. Whilst this latest one was done with the album cover primarily in mind, the opportunity will no doubt have been taken to produce a new set of publicity and press photos and some for the album booklets as well. I think Libby is spot on regarding the one we have already seen. Best wishes Grant |

Think "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". So yet another variation on a (retro?) theme... or maybe it is all smoke and mirrors by a somewhat mischievous Decca! Cheers, Dave |

Cheers, Davelol If this truly is some sort of Decca secret audience testing... I like Dream a Little Dream best *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* |

I wonder that if this photo does become the album cover (and therefore the theme of the album), will Hayley have this appearance for promotions and, even, any subsequent promotional tour?  We will have to wait and see.  Martin |

I think I'm definitely with Jillian on this one... Dream A Little Dream is probably my favorite. Also, that photo is stunning!!  Still not cover material, though. -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Agreed. Great pic, can still see Hayley is growing. And I also agree that it's just not the type of photo that would be used as a cover, it's more of a headshot or promo photo, although lovely nevertheless -Rory |

That pic can be very well used for the Album cover.  I actually like it a lot for a cover, very attractive. BTW that's something I did in Photoshop (just so nobody is mislead  ) |

I should've been more clear, it can work as a cover but I just don't think it fits in with her other covers, and the general mood behind them. Idk it's just too straightforward IMO but hey maybe I'll be proven wrong. Either way it's the music that counts, and if Hayley is on the cover it's guaranteed to be great no matter what  -Rory |

Still not cover material, though.
