I am a huge fan of Haze. She has a unique, effortlessly soothing voice that wraps itself around the stories in her songs. It’ll make you drift away, forgetting where you are – lost in her beautiful melodies. Fans of Joni Mitchell and Joanna Newsom would definitely love Haze as much as I do! I actually […]
