Open Mic Night at the Hard Rock Cafe

Photobucket

Promoting her new single to be released next month, Haley gave us a preview of 'Free' last night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood for popular LA-based contemporary Top 40 station KBIG 104.3 (MY-FM).  This is the first new material we've heard from the Idol fav and she certainly didn't disappoint. Looking simply rocker-licious in black top and blue jeans, Haley gave a low-key acoustic performance that's filled with feeling and yearning.  The song, a low- to mid-tempo ballad about making peace and setting each other free even when love goes badly, beautifully showcases Haley's range.  She switches effortlessly, as she always does, between belting out notes and just letting her voice slide into that soft jazzy comfort zone we've heard her do so many times before.  It was a divine, inspired performance to whet our appetite for what's more to come.

Part of a set including her crowning achievement 'House of the Rising Sun' (also featured below), 'Oh Darlin' (her audition song) and another new song 'Wasted Tears,' the studio version of 'Free' is due out March 20, with the full album scheduled in May.  Yes, I feel your pain, but what's a couple more months anyway?  Good things come to those who wait and patience is a virtue, right?
