HANAH is a producer and singer currently based in London, who has spent the best part of a decade developing an utterly distinctive sonic sensibility. Merging intimate-sounding loops with her euphonious vocals, HANAH’s debut EP Watch the World in Detail EP (released in March 2021 through Saffron Records), was a narcotic and often surprising listen. Lyrical fragments were repeated with a mantra-like simplicity until they revealed the kaleidoscopic meaning within. Declared “a triumph” by Clash Magazine, the EP had shades of Hiatus Kaiyote and early-James Blake, yet HANAH’s distinctive timbre remains wholly her own.
