If you\u2019re a fan of the likes of Adele and Amy Winehouse then Henley\u2019s new songs are definitely for you. &#8216;Better&#8217; is the type of song that will automatically get stuck in your head. You could be going about your everyday life humming to the tune without realising what you\u2019re doing\u2026but it\u2019s a song that will be sure brighten up your day! The music video was released at the beginning of June ready for her EP which will be available to download and stream at the end of the month. If this song is anything to go by, her EP is one to watch out for this summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although &#8216;Better&#8217; is the lead single, she has also recently released another song, &#8216;Same Girl&#8217;, which shows a more soulful side to the American singer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Henley is currently based in LA, where she is working closely with singer-songwriter and producer Jesse Boykins III who has worked with a variety of artists including Theophilus London, Lil Simz, Kilo Kush, Willow and Syd.
