Hailey Magee is a community creator…and also, a pretty damn fine song creator as well. Her tune “Royal Blue” was out featured track of the week last week and wouldn’t you know it, she has a new record coming out this

The first tune off the new project feels like it was recorded in an open room, the sounds of the walls and the natural feeling really seeping into the emotion of the song. Magee, while a bubbly person to know, excited to share and excited about music in this town, pens songs with a deep introspection and often times delve into the darker side of human emotion. But, when painted with her delicate and airy vocal, the juxtaposition of sonic quality and thematic content is really something interesting to take in.

The ground was littered with our lies; we forgot the taste of spring
Washed our sheets clean of the fire; still we didn’t feel a thing
We traded morning prayers for sleep; he was watching as we fell
“This world don’t mind me much,” he said,
“This world is making it’s own hell,“

This quick EP is all Magee’s voice and a single guitar (with the exception of one or two second, subtle guitar parts?). Stripped down in its nature it really lends it way to allowing the words to pierce through the arrangements and making you listen to the words. After all, isn’t that what songs are for?

Give this one a listen, and then give it a couple more.

TONIGHT is Hailey’s EP release party at Lilypad’s in Cambridge, MA at 7:30 PM. Donna Vatnick also performs. Get on out and support this wonderful artist who supports so many others!
