Each singer’s ability is showcased in this 17-track album. They took a creative leap by releasing an album comprised of originals, a risk because Pentatonix is known for the creative covers of hit tracks.

Hailey Whitters – Black Sheep October 2
Carnival Music recording artist Hailey Whitters delivers her first full-length album with the release of “Black Sheep.” In the age of pop-country, Whitters veers in the opposite direction, leaning more towards the styles of Miranda Lambert and Ashley Monroe. Her 10-track album mixes high-rock country songs with traditional ballads. She kicks it up a notch with “Long Come to Jesus,” “Heartbreaker,” and “Pocket Change.” Then she brings it back level with “Late Bloomer” and “Low All Afternoon.” The title track “Black Sheep” brings out the rebel in us all, and the record as a whole is a nice break from the pop-country format. With great prospects and what looks to be a bright future ahead of her, Hailey Whitters provides a great listen with “Black Sheep.”
