Haley Smalls - Don’t Touch (Single)
Toronto R&B artist Haley Smalls returns with her first release of the year, “Don’t Touch”, a sleek, emotionally rich single that builds on the momentum of last year’s acclaimed album The Cure IV.
Blending classic R&B sensibilities with a polished modern edge, “Don’t Touch” showcases Haley’s trademark mix of vulnerability, confidence and understated sensuality. The production feels sharp and contemporary, giving plenty of space for her unmistakable vocals to take centre stage.
Over the last few years, Haley has quietly established herself as one of independent R&B’s most compelling voices. With more than 180k monthly Spotify listeners and over 130 million streams across The Cure series, her audience continues to grow globally. Last year’s The Cure IV drew widespread praise, with tracks like “Red Light” and “Cold Feet” helping cement her reputation as an artist thriving entirely on her own terms.
Raised in Toronto and influenced by both her Bajan and European Canadian heritage, Haley taught herself audio engineering as a teenager before carving out an independent path in music. A major early breakthrough came when Beyoncé shared Haley’s cover of “Pretty Hurts”, introducing her to an international audience.
Now working closely with GRAMMY nominated producer Megaman, Haley continues to refine a sound that feels intimate, confident and unmistakably hers. With “Don’t Touch”, she proves once again why she remains one of North America’s most exciting rising R&B artists.
