Hear Haylie Davis's New Single 'Give Me a Rainbow'

(BHM) Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Haylie Davis has shared her latest single, "Give Me a Rainbow," available now via Fire Records. The beautiful country-folk song heralds Davis's eagerly awaited coming-of-age debut album, Wandering Star, arriving digitally and on Classic Black Vinyl, Limited Orange Vinyl (Rough Trade Exclusive), and CD on Friday, June 5.

"When you're at your lowest point, a rainbow can be the difference between hope and hopelessness," says Haylie Davis. "The clouds will part eventually, and that first sunshine will create a rainbow to show you that there's a break in the storm."

Recently named to Rolling Stone's influential "The Future 25," Haylie Davis has been hailed for "honoring the classics and chasing her dreams to make music full of radiant Laurel Canyon spirit."

Brimming with infectious hooks, soaring choruses, and enduring storylines that tug at the heartstrings, Wandering Star sees Davis looking at her life thus - the wins, the losses, the people she has met, and the places she has been. The album includes such singles as the plaintive cosmic country reverie of "Horns of Time," the luminous, piano-led title track, "Wandering Star," the critically acclaimed "Young Man," the heartfelt ballad, "Country Boy," and the gorgeous slice of plush melancholia, "Golden Age," most of these songs joined by evocative official music videos streaming now on YouTube. An introspective lament for misplaced affection propelled by echoey, yearning steel guitar and Davis's flawless vocal delivery, "Young Man" earned immediate praise from such outlets as ColoRising, which wrote, "'Young Man' finds Haylie Davis in a space of tenderness and understanding yet self-protecting. Using lush melodies as ear candy, there is a spaciousness to the production that allows for the vocalist to fly."

Meanwhile, "Golden Age" was met by applause from such publications as Raven Sings The Blues, which praised "Davis' ability to drape her songs in the soft-focus melancholy of the '70s," adding, "She's hinted at visions through the amber glass and shag of the decade before, but always tempered it a bit with a folk austerity. For 'Golden Age,' Davis fully embraces the widescreen approach of classic production, and it feels good on her."
