Local songstress sets her sights on the big stage.
Releasing her debut album at the ripe old age of 16, Langley, BC indie pop-rocker Hailey Morgan is proving that she is talented beyond her years. You & Me is comprised of a mix of energetic rock songs and emotional ballads, showing off both her youthful exuberance and incredible vocal range. The hauntingly soulful We Were Meant For Each Other tugs at the heartstrings while anthems such as Let Go and Trapped Inside Your Love will get you up on your feet. Listeners get the sense that Morgan's sound will continue to evolve as she matures, but the CD is nonetheless a great soundtrack commemorating the coming-of-age of a young artist. A top 10 finalist in the Youthink BC's Best Teen Band Contest 2011, Hailey Morgan is one to watch.
