=== PledgeMusic === In April 2011, Hatfield announced her intention to work on a new album via the fan-funding platform [[PledgeMusic]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/juliana-hatfield |title=Juliana Hatfield: New Album |publisher=[[PledgeMusic]] |access-date=February 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111016184741/http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/juliana-hatfield |archive-date=October 16, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Fan response was enthusiastic, exceeding 400% of the original project cost. The album was initially going to be titled ''Speeches Delivered to Animals and Plants'', referencing a passage in the [[John Irving]] novel ''[[The World According to Garp]]'', but Hatfield later changed it to ''[[There's Always Another Girl]].''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/juliana-hatfield/updates/5117 |title=New title |publisher=[[PledgeMusic]] |access-date=February 19, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150903234340/http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/juliana-hatfield/updates/5117 |archive-date=September 3, 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The new title referred to a song on the album of the same name, which she had written as a defense of [[Lindsay Lohan]] after watching her film ''[[I Know Who Killed Me]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://stereogum.com/68822/juliana_hatfield_theres_always/the-gum-drop/ |title=Juliana Hatfield β "There's Always Another Girl (For Lindsay Lohan)" |publisher=[[Stereogum]] |date=May 12, 2009 |access-date=February 19, 2012 |archive-date=October 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010001927/http://stereogum.com/68822/juliana_hatfield_theres_always/the-gum-drop/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> ''[[There's Always Another Girl]]'' was released on August 30, 2011, independently on her Ye Olde Records label. However, a downloadable version was made available to contributors a month earlier, on July 27, which was Juliana's birthday. The album has received mostly positive reviews from critics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/theres-always-another-girl |title=There's Always Another Girl Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More at Metacritic |website=[[Metacritic]] |access-date=February 19, 2012}}</ref> On August 28, 2012, Juliana Hatfield released a covers album titled ''[[Juliana Hatfield (album)|Juliana Hatfield]]'' on her Ye Olde Records label. The album features covers of songs originally performed by [[The Who]], [[Liz Phair]], [[Creedence Clearwater Revival]], [[Ryan Adams]], [[I Blame Coco]], and [[Led Zeppelin]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://julianahatfield.com/newalbum.htm |title=New Album |access-date=August 21, 2012 |publisher=Ye Olde Records |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120910161438/http://www.julianahatfield.com/newalbum.htm |archive-date=September 10, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> In December 2014, ''[[Paste Magazine]]'' named her track "Needle in the Hay," a cover of [[Elliott Smith]]'s song, as No. 10 on its list of the "20 Best Cover Songs of 2014." The review described the cover as "a more upbeat, approachable take on Smith's disparate, wrought-iron classic. But even though it now employs bass, drums, tambourine, and synth, the song stays true to the sorrowful, tension-riddled original."<ref name="alrnewfpaste" /> Also that month, ''[[SPIN Magazine]]'' named the cover one of the "40 Best 2014 Songs by 1994 Artists," where it ranked No. 36. The review noted, "The tempo's a bit quicker, and she double-tracks herself for the song's entirety. But the (tasteful) inclusion of chintzy drum programming and [[mellotron]] cleverly point to Smith's eventual creative direction."<ref name="alrnewgspin" />
