Single of the Week: I See Sky - Hannah White

Sadly, there is not a reset switch we can flip to start this year over. 2016 has pretty much sucked and it's hard not to feel a sense of dread when we see a city or country trending on social media. It is times like these when music is needed perhaps more than ever before.

Music is an escape. Music helps heal.

Hannah White's 'I See Sky' is a song that we all need to hear right now. This bluesy-country number sings about the power of love and unity in helping us to achieve what we all want - a world we can all be proud of. And it is so true, demonstrated by the selfless acts of others in the wake of recent tragic events - blood donors after Orlando, homeowners opening their doors to offer shelter to to others to mention just a few examples of how humanity has come together after acts of hate.

This song is a beautiful, poignant reminder of what's important in life - love.




ABOUT HANNAH WHITE

The London-based singer-songwriter’s music draws from a rich well of life experiences as well as an eclectic range of genres. A single mother who’s battled her way to gaining a loyal following of fans whilst maintaining a wholly independent approach to her career, her music is influenced by country, blues, pop and soul but remains distinctly her own. With a voice that can switch from a sweet Nashville croon to a bluesy holler and production work from Roger Cotton (BB King/Paul McCartney) and Gerry Diver (Christy Moore/Tom Robinson), Hannah’s songs have been playlisted on BBC Radio 2, BBC London, BBC Kent, BBC Merseyside, BBC Introducing & Amazing Radio, and she has performed video sessions for Bob Harris and Balcony TV. She’s also wowed audiences at shows with Thea Gilmore and Ben Haenow, headlined at a sold-out Union Chapel in London, performed at major festivals and picked up press plaudits from Acoustic Magazine, R2 Magazine, Country Music People, Fatea Magazine, Blues Matters and many more.

With stellar production input from Nigel Stonier (Martha Wainwright/Joan Baez) and her most personal collection of songs yet, Whose Side Are You On? is a defining statement from a talented and versatile songwriter and vocalist. With I See Sky forming a perfect introduction, Hannah’s honest, witty and emotionally raw songs are set to gain new fans wherever they are heard.
