Halle Payne

We all remember hearing that one song that changed everything we thought we knew about music. Well, we can’t get enough of new music, and ‘Making Waves’ is your guide to the new artists disrupting the scene…

Making Waves today is Messy Hot Girl Summer by Halle Payne

Blending the grit of Alanis Morissette with the melodic charm of Sheryl Crow, Halle Payne makes classic, acoustically driven, left-of-center pop. After cutting her teeth in Nashville for three years, she moved to London, where she crowdfunded and recorded her debut album Forever From You. Her emotionally charged, “hope-core” perspective has drawn over a million monthly views on social media. She’s performed at the Camden Club and the Bedford with her six-piece band and is a top contender in the War Child Rising UK competition. Now, with a 20-track album produced by James Russell (Credits: Louis Tomlinson, Phoebe Bridgers, MUNA), Halle is gearing up to release her most ambitious work yet.
