about

First, there’s the voice. Devoid of affectation or theatrics, it’s a delightful instrument, one wielded with true subtlety. Technically a dramatic mezzo, it moves with graceful ease from slightly husky sensuality to bluesy boisterousness conveying, at turns, sweet romanticism and gently aching melancholy. Its purity of tone matched by impeccable phrasing, this is a voice to be reckoned with.

Then there are the songs. On Arms Full of Roses, her debut album, Hayle covered pop classics “Look of Love” and “Can’t Take My Eyes off You”, but it was her own compositions, evocative of Gershwin and Cole Porter, that truly captured the imagination. Her virtually unclassifiable style, and extraordinary gift for both music and lyrics, is again evident on So Much For Good Behaviour.

Featuring original songs sure to be mistaken as classics, (“But You Do”, “Summer’s Kiss” and “Impossible You” among them); a who’s who of Canadian musicians (including the legendary Guido Basso, with a haunting chromatic harmonica solo on Summers Kiss); and the contributions of Juno Award-winning recording engineer John Bailey, and Emmy Award-winning producer Don Breithaupt, So Much For Good Behaviour is a confluence of artistry and ingenuity.

“These songs wrote themselves. In fact, I didn’t quite know where they were going until they took me there,” says Hayle, of her quirky, complex and layered compositions.
