Haley Reinhart at Montclair Tickets

A timeless voice outlasts eras. It feels just as at home in the sixties as it does in the Snapchat age. It also resounds louder as time goes on.

Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice. However, the expansive scope of her range comes into full focus on her 2019 album Lo-Fi Soul.

“It’s a mixture of all of my favorite things,” she explains. “It’s where pop, rock, and a hint of jazz  all come together. I want to show the fun side of who I am. I want to show the vulnerable side of who I am. I want to show the flirtatious side of who I am. When you hear these songs, you’re hearing every side of me.”

In many ways, Haley began working towards this album as a child. Mom and dad shared a band, and, unsurprisingly, their daughter would sing before she could talk. She spent countless hours engaged in rhyming games with her mother or locked into a call-and- response as a baby with her father. Her fascination with all things classic continued as she became a fan of everyone from The Beatles and Led Zeppelin to Janis Joplin and Sly & The Family Stone.

She finally found a way to incorporate a myriad of influences into her own music on Lo-Fi Soul, gluing it all together with a dash of doo-wop.
