Praise for Hayley
‘I’ve had the great privilege of mentoring Hayley via APRA AMCOS’ Women In Music Mentoring program and I’m so excited for her brand new single, ‘Drowning Myself’. It heralds such a fresh and exciting new phase in her career and leaves no doubt of her strong pop writing sensibilities and dedication to her art ’– Adalita, frontwoman of iconic Australian rock band, Magic Dirt
‘Australia’s answer to Kacey Musgraves’ — Felicity Urqhart, multiple Golden Guitar winner and former host of ABC’s Saturday Night Country
‘From the moment Hayley shared Drowning Myself with me in its demo stages, I could feel this newfound sense of empowerment bubbling to the surface in Hayley’s writing. She has always had a wonderful confidence in her sound, but something about this new musical direction to me seems to hold a newly awakened raw intensity as if she’s lifting the veil to reveal her most vulnerable self. This song sounds like nothing you’ve heard from Hayley before, and yet, it sounds more like her than anything else I’ve heard. Hayley knows who she is and what she wants to say more than almost any other artist I’ve met, and it shows now more than ever in the way she’s writing.’ – Imogen Clark, critically acclaimed indie rock singer-songwriter.

If HAIM & Shania Twain got together to make music, its sonic sister would be Hayley Marsten’s new single, ‘Drowning Myself’ released recently (October 8th). No stranger to the ‘sad banger’, Hayley has bared her heartbreak to her audience many times before but no song in her back catalogue compares in vulnerability.
About the realisation that sometimes the only person who can pull you out of the deep end is the one who threw you in, you. ‘Drowning Myself is the sadness I thought I would never explore, my own mental health’. Hayley spent her early years as a songwriter as a Taylor Swift fan, being schooled in how to write a hook from the heart and genre bend with the best of them. And it shows on ‘Drowning Myself’, taking the best parts of her alt-country roots and sparkling power-pop all over them.
‘In some ways this song feels like a huge departure for me. But in reality this is the most of me that has ever been in a song.’ It might feel like a different approach but the stellar songwriting is unchanged in this song, the heartbreak kid now delves deeper into herself to try to quell the pain. This release marks Marsten’s first as a co-producer with the powerhouse production team of Dan Sugars and ARIA Award Winner Magoo (Reguritator, Kate Miller-Heidke, Powderfinger).
This single marks a step into a new era for her as an artist but also her emerging from her darkest place with her grief spun into gold.
