"From the Wild Sky" captures Loren soaring – confident, embattled and empowered, ever attuned to the healing powers of music in these troubled times. Each song tells of a journey, and the sum total of the album itself represents a voyage that beckons the listener to travel along, through fragility and conflict into a tenuous but graceful acceptance, grounded in wisdom and celebrated with stunning artistry. Loren's recording career spans over a decade, with nine internationally-acclaimed self-produced solo albums. This release, Loren's tenth, turns the spotlight toward her songwriting, showcasing her multi-faceted artistry in a brand new light.

Sun and sand, moon and wind, dreams and love. Vibrant things, radiant in their being, reaching to the stars… all are themes touched upon during the Simply Love, Billboard Japan's #1 jazz album from acclaimed singer/songwriter Halie Loren, with sparkling new originals and radiantly re-imagined classics.

Recorded during Loren’s 2015 Japan tour, “Live at Cotton Club” was recorded from the stage of Tokyo’s famed Cotton Club, and features her long-time musical collaborators Matt Treder on piano, Mark Schneider on bass, and Brian West on drums. It includes live renditions of some of her most well-loved takes on American Songbook, pop/rock, world music, and original pieces. Originally recorded in hi-resolution, the sonic experience of the album simultaneously captures the electricity and spontaneity of the live concert experience while also exhibiting studio-quality clarity. It was initially released exclusively by JVCKenwood in Japan, Korea, and across parts of eastern Asia in 2016.

A rarity only available at her shows since 2006, Halie Loren's debut CD Full Circle is finally available nationally. Eleven original songs combined with a stirring Joni Mitchell cover, Full Circle is a great addition to anyone who is a fan of Tori Amos or Norah Jones. Oregon native Halie Loren is an internationally recognized artist, whose rich and sensitively delivered vocals have garnered her numerous awards and fans from around the world.
