Hana has a unique ear for melody and a dream-like, languid style of songwriting that is made for drifting off and getting lost in. Her new single, ‘Red Hearts’, is an enchanting, shoegazing song soaked in country sun and was written during a period of late night introspection during lockdown.
Speaking on the track, Hana explains: “Red Hearts is a hopeless love song with an inevitably sad ending to the story. The initial inspiration for the track came from “Girl all the bad guys want” by Bowling for Soup, even though sonically miles apart! Making music in lockdown was like living in a little safe space in my head where nothing mattered, for the first time there was no pressure to create. That period of time meant I could create music subconsciously and not focus on the what if’s or doubts about the quality or quantity of music, I just created without thinking and created what I felt, there are no filters.”
Today’s track follows on from Hana’s debut single ‘Stay’, released back in July, which saw Hana deliver a dreamy introduction to her sonic world, combining intimate, confessional lyrics over immaculate self-taught bedroom pop production. At just twenty-one years old, Hana is fast developing into an exciting new voice in the UK, with early press support from The Guardian and The Line of Best Fit, as well as an unexpected play on this year’s series of Love Island.
