Los Angeles–based singer/songwriter Haylie Davis will release her debut album, ‘Wandering Star’ via Fire Records on June 5, 2026.
Her latest single “Horns of Time” taps into a plaintive cosmic country palette. About the track she comments, “I’ve been going to a woman’s gathering in Northern California since I was a young kid. There’s a woman there who goes by ‘Stargazer Lee’ and she holds group stargazing out in the field at night where she teaches astrology and astronomy. She’s truly a genius in her story telling and knowledge of the cosmos. One thing she taught us is that when you hold your fingers in a “rock on” form against the sky, the distance in between your pointer finger and pinky accounts for about an hour of time on earth- and it can help you tell how long it will take for a star to set below the horizon. This measure is called ‘Horns of Time’ because your fingers look like little horns and they keep time. But I think it stuck with me because it also points to how tiny we really are under all those stars.”
A fresh take on modern pop, her debut album ‘Wandering Star’ is infectious brimming with hooks, soaring choruses, and storylines that tug at the heartstrings. Haylie Davis emerges as a Carly Simon for post-Gen Z—timeless in feeling, unmistakably of the moment.
On the back of some stellar appearances at SXSW last month, Haylie Davis has just confirmed two live appearances in London and New York.
