In The Spotlight

Hannah Stow – “But I Lie”

Based in Perth, this Australian singer and songwriter started writing music when she was 12 years old after getting an electric guitar as a gift. In 2020 she made her first mark on the music scene with “Fast Cars Mash Up Cover”, a medley of Tracy Chapman songs, in collaboration with Callaa. Compared to artists like Missy Higgins and CXLOE and drawing inspiration from artists such as Chillinit, Peach PRC and Sam Fender, she debuted her own, original material on “I’m Feeling” in 2021.

Although written years ago, the subject matter of her new single, being the tribulations of having to remain hidden in a same sex relationship, remains as poignant as always. Taken from her upcoming debut EP “Sidelined”, expected on September 12th, she enriched her empowering lyrics with a nostalgia-infused melody. Setting the scene with a slow synth, the song evolves with a gentle beat and warm electric guitars. And with her emotive vocals, this is a heartfelt gem.
