SHARES BRAND NEW TRACK ‘SOLITUDE’
FROM UPCOMING EP EXISTENTIAL OUT DEC 8TH
“Hana Lili mines the depths of her emotions to write heartfelt acoustic songs” – The Guardian
“Hana Lili has been wooing the nation with her rounded sound.” – Notion

Today sees Welsh-born, London-based rising star Hana Lili share her brand new single ‘Solitude’ from upcoming EP Existential. Written by Hana and co-produced with Ant Whiting, the lo fi track showcases Hana’s melodic voice, set over a sliding guitar riff that ushers in a new era of Hana’s sound.
Speaking about the track, Hana says: “Solitude is about finding comfort in being lonely, confiding in the feeling of isolation and learning to make friends with my own mind. The song follows a chronological lyrical journey to discovering happiness in solitarily. I’ve always been afraid of being lonely, because that’s when my mind tends to wonder and overthink. In hindsight writing this song felt like letting go of those inhibitions and facing feelings head on”.
Immensely proud of her heritage, Hana Lili grew up in a small seaside town on the south west coast of Wales. It was there she was able to forge her musical identity, taking part in local and international folk singing competitions where she learnt the tradition of telling stories through song. These formative experiences permeate through Hana Lili’s music and she gravitates towards writing about personal experiences, hardships, relationships and friendships. Like a diary to the inner monologue in her head, her tracks are honest and candidly authentic.
‘Solitude’ follows the release of Hana Lili’s most recent single ‘Common Ground’ and debut EP Flowers Die In The Summer, an entirely self-produced body of work which saw Hana deliver a dreamy introduction to her sonic world, combining intimate, confessional lyrics over immaculate self-taught production. Spearheaded by Hana’s unique ear for melody, rugged guitar chords, vulnerable lyrics, and nostalgic noughties-esque pop production, the homespun EP certified the 21-year-old as a vital new voice within the bedroom pop movement. With early press support from The Guardian, Notion, Dummy, i-D, Clash, Dork and The Line of Best Fit and an unexpected play on last year’s series of Love Island, Hana Lili is your latest artist to watch.
