The video for “Honey Friend” was created by Montréal-based visual artists Aislinn Leggett (visual director and cinematographer) and Elysha Poirier (editor). It is made up of a collection of playful scenes concocted by Leggett using flowers, food scraps and vibrant fabrics. It serves to provide a whimsical visual stimulus for this equally lighthearted love song.

The lyrics of Honey Friend describe the act of falling into a love that is so sweet and sticky, it makes you want to fall in love with everything you do. “Honey Friend” features Shaina on voice and guitar, David Marchand on pedal steel and electric guitar, Francis Ledoux on drums, Thanya Iyer on vocals and synth, and Pompey on bass.

Born in a small farming and fishing village called Shigawake, Quebec, Hayes’ intrinsic ties to her homeland and distinctive heritage, have forged an earnest and glimmering framework onto which her music takes shape.

After studying jazz voice at Montreal’s Vanier College, Hayes proceeded to build a musical career performing and recording with multiple groups, most notably Montreal's Thanya Iyer. Hayes has also been an active and integral player both musically and in the organization of the annual Shigawake Agricultural Fair and Music Festival since its inception in 2009. Alongside her musical career, she has maintained her roots in farming, spearheading horticultural projects both in Shigawake and near Montréal, where she now resides.
