In today’s day and age, one struggle with the volatility of the internet is that of preparedness. Countless artists have been unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight off of a viral single, but so few of these talents are actually ready when the heads are turned their way. Resulting is a decline just as sharp as the rise, creating the remarkably high turnover rate that we see in music right now.
With this in mind, Hailey Orion is in a fascinating spot. Her music, quite frankly, is more than ready to take over the charts, but Orion hasn’t quite reached her tipping point. On social media and on streaming services, her numbers aren’t anything crazy, but what’s so promising about Orion is her preparedness. Once that pivot point finally hits, Hailey Orion is off to the races, with her one-of-a-kind talents and pop-induced deliveries marking her as an undeniable star-in-the-making.
Today, we see this readiness in the form of Orion’s latest offering, “Naive.” Acting as the first release since her last appearance on Lyrical Lemonade — the two-pack of singles, “Only If” and “Oh Well” — this silky smooth release is the exact breath of fresh air that I didn’t know I needed. The vocals are soothing as can be, and Orion’s diverse palette of deliveries is sure to turn “Naive” up a notch, constantly switching things up so that the song doesn’t lose any of its head-turning momentum.
Needless to say, Hailey Orion has done it once again, so don’t sleep. Check out the new song below and keep an eye out for more from the soon-to-be star!
