Gemma Hayes reveals new album details
Gemma Hayes has given us a sneak peek at her new album, with cover artwork and a full tracklisting.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 04 Apr 2008
hotpress.com is delighted to bring you this first peek at the cover artwork for the new Gemma Hayes album, The Hollow Of Morning, which hits the racks here on May 2.
“I stole the title from a poem by Samuel Menashe,” Hayes confesses. “It refers to that time, just before you fully wake, when everything is as it should be and you’re at peace. I made it with my dear friend David Odlum. He co-produced and engineered it with such dedication and love. Joe Chester sang and played some guitar on it and Kevin Shields played some guitar too, which seriously blew my mind! Karl Odlum and Paul Noonan also contributed their amazing talents.”
Along with lead single ‘Out Of Our Hands’, it features ‘This Is What We Do’, ‘January 14th’, ‘Home’, ‘In Over My Head’, ‘Chasing Dragons’, ‘Don’t Forget’, ‘Sad Ol’ Song’, ‘At Constant Speed’ and ‘Under A Canopy’.
In case you’re wondering, we’ve heard it and it’s great.

Like much of Haye’s second album, The Roads Don’t Love You, ‘Undercover’ is bland and distinctly average. The sense of intimacy, and indeed the delicate nature of Haye’s songwriting, which made Night On My Side so special is lost amid the bigger production. Often ‘Undercover’ sounds dead and lifeless; Hayes’ vocals, less subtle than before, lack honesty, with the previous sexiness to her phrasing now sounding forced. Dull.

“Holy Shit!” Not the words you might expect to hear from the usually quietly-spoken Ballyporeen beauty. But that was precisely her reaction to the rapturous reception she received from a packed to the gills Vicar St. for what, I’m reliably told, was her biggest solo headliner to date.

In a slightly unfathomable move, the lead single from Hayes’s second album makes its appearance a couple of weeks after that record’s release, by which point it will have become clear that the singer has managed to sidestep that difficult second album problem with aplomb. All of which leaves ‘Happy Sad’ a bit redundant and most probably with little chance of troubling the upper reaches of the charts. Record company tactics aside, though, this is a lovely, warm and fuzzy song that moves the Hayes sound forward, if not in giant leaps.
