She performed Wasted Tears for PerezHilton.com I really like it. Not sure if it was one of the songs I heard before, it is performed acoustic so I may have not recognized it.

If the previews are any indication, this is going to be a great album. Love the soulful jazzy-pop sound; some of the songs remind me of 100 Miles From Memphis-era Sheryl Crow and a little bit of Esperanza Spalding, and it's got a sunny mood perfect for summer. Looking forward to this.

The previews sound amazing! It looks like I'll be getting the physical deluxe from Walmart.

I love the songs that are more straight up retro-pop. I need full versions of "Now That You're Here" and "What You Don't Know" immediately.

The album sound very good. I think I'm liking the deluxe tracks over a handful of the tracks that made it on the standard edition though.

The album sounds great. "Undone", "Spiderwebs", "Liar" and "Wasted Tears" especially.

I love her voice. sounds very promising. Why didn't they release the one with B.o.b as the first single?

I wasn't planning on buying the whole album, but after listening to the leak I think I will be. Still a bit on the fence, but it's a really strong album without any real filler.
I'm a little disappointed by her collaboration with B.o.B which is one of my least favorite tracks.

I think I'm going to hold off until my pre-order downloads onto my computer, but I'm absolutely thrilled about some of the comments on here!

Really excited to hear the bonus tracks. So far my favorite is "Hit the Ground Runnin''" (needs to be a single), but I think that may change once I listen to "What You Don't Know".

Oh My! Free Wasted Tears Undone Wonderland Keep Coming Back
Those are my favorites but I surprisingly enjoyed the entire album sans Liar. It sucks Free wasn't a bigger radio hit because this is a nice summer pop album that doesn't need to fly under the radar. I hope the deluxe tracks are just as good.

Hit the ground running Keep coming back Now that you're here Wasted tears.
Liar is not bad either. I don't like Free that much. Overall, one of the best idol debut albums. Very Haley, not generic. Only problem I see is the lack of sure fire radio hit because she's not following any current trend. Hopefully her idol fanbase and words of mouth can give it more legs.

"Hit the Ground Runnin'" is my least favorite. The chorus is really grating and repetitive. My favorites are "Free", "Wasted Tears" (killer bridge), "Undone" (lovely ballad) and "Wonderland" (really groovy, it's sort of like two songs spliced into one and it works rather well). The latter shocked me as I wasn't feeling it based on the previews, it has a really cool vibe to it. I love "Now That You're Here", Liar" and "Keep Coming Back" also though. Most of the songs are pretty neck to neck quality-wise. Stellar effort, she really found her niche with this. Too bad it'll probably go unnoticed and sell <100k.

"Hit the Ground Runnin'" should be the next single. YOUUUU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME
And the melody of "Walking on Heaven" has been stuck in my head all day.

Now That You're Here Wonderland Oh My! Liar Wasted Tears
Those are some HOT tracks. I'm going to get the deluxe version and make this my album of the summer. She's by FAR my fav idol since Kat McPhee!

Hit the ground running Keep coming back Now that you're here Wasted tears. hahaha i thought these were lyrics, not album titles. It would make for an interesting verse. The album is #9 on iTunes right now. It's a fairly heavy release week (nothing major beyond John Mayer, but tons of smaller artists), so it should be interesting.

Let's Run Away is the only deluxe track I care for. I hope Amazon MP3 slashes the price on this!
