Music reviews of Prayer
Music Review: But what's new?
Rating: 1 Stars
While I would agree with other reviewers about the quality of Hayley's voice and musical interpretation, I find her reluctance to create completely new musical titles on a CD a big turn-off. There is no way I would buy something yet again that is a rehash of much she has done previously. And I don't buy single MP3's, as I prefer the CD's.
All in all I think this release is way overpriced if the new music is divided into the cost of the CD. This seems to be an occupational hazard of many singing artists. Either they, or their managers, don't have enough interest in those who have bought previous titles, and are betting that there will be enough newcomers to be able to dilute the CD with what was on previous ones. As for the newcomers, why wouldn't they be just as likely to buy what she has produced previously.
In Haley's case I believe she and her managers are short-changing what her maturing talent is capable of. Certainly the world of music is sufficiently broad that she would be able to select from it those new songs (for her repertoire) that she would enjoy singing and her listeners would like to hear. If her managers are so risk averse that they don't want to consider new titles, perhaps she should look elsewhere for new managers.
I am probably wasting my time with these criticisms, since I did previously make the same ones on her website, but if enough previous customers of her music agree perhaps the bottom line will create the needed change for a NEW CD that has NEW music on it.
