Hayley has posted another pic on Twitter. It's quite interesting because you can see the view from the camera in the screen facing towards the picture. I must say that Hayley's getting a bit more active on Twitter of late, we certainly didn't get as many sneak peaks as this for any of her other photo shoots and videos in the past! Actually, come to think of it, is this the first lot of proper sneak peaks we have ever got? There were none from the Hushabye shoot and Paradiso was a bit before Hayley was really using instagram and twitter. Hayley must have particularly liked this shoot, as I have noticed the more she likes something, the more vocal she is on Twitter. It looks like it will be quite beautiful.  I hope that radiator was turned off before Hayley had to sit on it!  |

Yes, great pics guys and Hayley an whover was behing the camera that took it (I can guess). Hayley said she was waiting for the sun. Not much sun today, perhaps that is why the white reflector board was needed.

I had a talk with Ian at Fiona's concert last night and he couldn't talk about the videos. But he did enjoy working with Hayley on them and they are pleased how they went. But we have figured out what the videos are for  Sent from my GT-I8190T using proboards |

Now that is a banging album cover! Love it! A fairly bold and powerful shot ... A move away from the modest downward looking shots favoured for previous album covers. |

The promo, and that song are lovely! Thanks Jim! I think that we were right about the videos being made at the recent phot shoot. It looks to be the same studio where Hayley tweeted photos from. Also, she appears now to have two rings on her wedding finger, so must be since she was married. I think this is the first time we've seen her wedding ring. s46.photobucket.com/user/martinDn/media/Untitled_zps8f2641a0.png.html?state=copy Martin D |

I think it is Martin!  I love the second song in that promo video, I've had it stuck in my head all morning even though I don't understand a word of it lol! Hmm, my parents said they might, if I persuade them, get this for me as one of my graduation gifts (I'm currently working on persuading them to get me a car, I don't think compared to that a CD will be too difficult lol) but I guess it's how long I'm prepared to wait for it My mum said when she first saw the cd covers why do they have to be so dark and why can't anyone look at you and smile on covers anymore? But I think these photos are better than the Hushabye one, especially like the top one- very mature-looking. |

They're great. Bold, unapologetic, unwavering. They make a statement. Welcome back, Hayley. |

That's a great photo too Jillian! I can't save it though, because on my computer it says it isn't a photo  |

In terms of the actual music, I think that Hana Wa Saku is the standout there. It seems like it will be a very catchy tune. As for the duet, well, it seems that the pairing was probably more a marketing thing from Universal's perspective -- as the two voices probably aren't a natural choice for a duet. But then again, pairing 'on trend' artists up for duets is rather the bread and butter of classical crossover, so it is what it is. As nice as the new music is, it certainly does make me long for the desperately awaited next album! |

Awesome covers! Very modern, very bold, very different. And the songs sound wonderful! That ain't no breathy tone there. :wink: And now I'll have Hana Wa Saku running through my head all day... -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |
