Road Between

• Debut Album.
• Featuring "You Sound Good To Me and Nervous Girls.

ROAD BETWEEN serves as the lyrical account of Hale's longtime musical aspirations finally becoming reality. That fork in the road actually led Hale back to her first love, singing. After years of honing her craft and finding her voice, she is finally ready to share what had been a bit of a hidden talent for the past decade. And so far, the response has been tremendous. Those closest to Hale will not be surprised to hear the heartfelt stories contained in her upcoming debut album. Set to release through DMG Nashville, the 11-song collection was worth the wait for both the singer and her fans, who will learn a great deal about her through this lyrical diary. Through her songs, the vocal powerhouse introduces her millions of fans to her true self outside a Hollywood sound stage. The tracks strip away the glitz and glamour of Tinsel Town to show that she is just like any other 24-year-old woman, with dating drama and typical insecurities. Hale's relatability is perhaps best exuded in a poignant song called 'Nervous Girls,' which tells the stories of several women in various situations that cause self-doubt. 'The cruelest words about me come from my own mouth,' she sings on the heartfelt track that hits close to home. On the site end of the album's broad emotional spectrum is the gutsy track 'Goodbye Gone,' which is a different kind of girl anthem. Hale cites it as the most fun song to perform live, as she can unleash her often bottled-up sassy side. Another love song is the album's first official single, 'You Sound Good to Me,' which has more country flair than a lot of today's biggest hits in the genre. It's the perfect introduction to audiences who only know Hale by her big and small screen personas, as it's the musical mirror image of her personality: clever, sweet, fun-loving, and -- as Hale says with a smile -- 'in your face a little bit, but in a good way!' A four-time Teen Choice Award winner and recipient of the prestigious Gracie Allen Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Rising Star, Hale has an acting resume a mile long. After 'American Juniors,' she appeared on several TV shows including 'How I Met Your Mother,' 'Privileged' and 'Pretty Little Liars.' Film credits include 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,' and 'A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song.' 'Whether I'm singing or acting, I just consider myself a performer,' she says. 'They're both ways for me to channel my creativity. My focus now is music, and people have been so supportive.' Hale has certainly found a lot of open arms in Nashville the place she says 'feels most like home.' While the singer has no regrets about the winding road she took to get there, she is happy to at last be parked at her dream destination.
