Ria Hanley – “Golden Girl”

Hailing from Liverpool, this British singer and songwriter grew up with music in her life. She sang in soul choirs and at the age of 11 wrote her first lyrics. At 13 she performed her originals on stage for the first time. Since the start of her career she’s performed at Carnival Cruises, as well as festivals like Victorious Fest and Liverpool Celebrates Festival. Inspired by artists such as Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris, she debuted her rich country-pop blend on “Hell For Leather” in 2022.

Appreciating both the beauty and chaos that comes with living life to the full, her new single celebrates the wild and messy moments freedom can bring. She’s weaving a colorful sonic tapestry of an effulgent driving piano, a punchy beat and infectious guitars. Adding another layer of a steel-guitar gives the pop-infused sound a touch of country. Filled with empowerment, it’s her silken vocals spinning a golden weave through the warm notes, that make this tune irresistible.
