One presses play... A downbeat-drum fill... A second or two of anasuming ease... Then the s**t hits the fan with a wall of sound that can only compared to a freight train. Halley Devestern's song "I'll Light Myself On Fire" pushes every sonic envelope there is and it does it in a way that sends the brain scrambling and makes the listener forget to breath. We often look for that "big song". One that makes us feel as tall as a mountain. This song does just that. In Blues laced, Alternative Rock style, Halley creates a powerful combination in the songs opening minute. The electric guitar banging out the chords with the hammond organ and harmonica create the perfect introduction to a voice that's emotive style might be mistaken for legendary female singers, past and present. Halley's voice is what sets her apart from most of the overly sweet female singer/songwriters of the day. It's no wonder her debut album is called "Sugar Free". Terrific songwriting, top-notch production and classic vocal work create a triple threat in this song. Halley DeVestern's lyrical ability in concert with the other stellar aspects of this song create an artistic grand slam that is much coveted and rarely attained by today's music makers. It's safe to say that if this song were on major market radio today, it would (after time) be looked upon as a classic. Apparantlly, the industry recognizes a classic when it hears one. Halley is currently receiving rave reviews and notice from MTV-Online, Newsday and the top college stations in the country. She will be a featured artist on the Eastern leg of The Indiegrrl Tour. It seems clear that, despite the title of her album, Halley DeVestern's future is looking sweeter by the minute. By Scott Meldrum

Halley is the BEST! This CD is a must-have. I've played it 20 times at least, this week, and still can't get enough.
