Look Forward to Hailey Knox

Regarding music, potential and talent are not lacking, no matter how cynical people’s perspectives tend to be.

Initially known for her YouTube covers, Hailey Knox is a 24-year-old artist from New York. Recognized for her alternative, R&B, and hip-hop sound, her music is also influenced by pop. From the beginning of her music career, Hailey Knox’s instrument skills paired with her emotive and tranquil voice, gathered notable attention, including a shoutout from Meghan Trainor. In addition, Hailey Knox opened for popular artists including Charlie Puth and Ruth B.

However, her artistry has developed since she was a teenager. Her first EP, A Little Awkward, released in 2016, had more of an acoustic, laidback sound, with honest lyrics. Two years later, in the album Hardwired Mixtape, Hailey Knox’s sound matured and her lyrical content expanded as she exposed more of her pains, criticized the ceaseless negativity many people feed into, and encouraged listeners to do what makes them happy.

After 2018, Hailey Knox dropped multiple singles. In 2023, she was featured in Dowls’ “I know the way,” and has released two singles, “AVAILABLE FOR ME” and “Charismatic.” “AVAILABLE FOR ME” has clean, but strut-worthy production. Hailey Knox’s voice effortlessly flows with the instrumentals as she tells of being upset after a breakup, but realizing, and underlining, how she can be there for herself and focus on who she wants to be. Continuing with a similar theme, “Charismatic” is an enthralling, soulful song that promotes self-confidence with lyrics like, “Now every time I look in the mirror, I feel ecstatic.” It is worthwhile to experience Hailey Knox’s newer songs, which radiate growth and comfortable confidence.

About one week ago, Hailey Knox teased another song on Instagram titled, “Future Me.” The piece shared is vulnerable, soft, and solemn, accentuating Hailey Knox’s peaceful vocals. Nurtured in a home full of music, Hailey’s love and dedication to music were obvious at an early age. The start of Hailey’s music career was impressive, but her passion hasn’t died out, only blossoming over the years.
