Through a Facebook post yesterday, the artist formerly known as Haley Bonar announced a personal and professional name change.

In honor of her maternal family, her last name is now McCallum, and from now on, she will be professionally known as HALEY.

She said: "My mother's name- McCallum- another name borne of sturdy, Scottish blood- means 'a person of peace'. I want to be at peace with myself, as do most of us on a daily basis in life...I understand that changing my name with regard to the work I have have created under my name can be confusing to fans, or people trying to find my music. So, although my legal name will be Haley McCallum, I will be performing etc under HALEY."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from single-named artists?

And thanks to Current blogger Jay Gabler for the idea!
