Hanna Andrea recently dropped a new single that thrives in an energetic pop sort of way, but covered in a rock atmosphere, displaying a vibrant approach to her performance across the board.
The first verse of the single is stripped down a bit to clean guitars and vocals, but you know that's going to give way to a bigger sound soon enough.
The first verse is almost sad, in a sense. It is about missing certain things about hanging out with somebody close.
How they used to go out, have fun, live life, and see the world. Just be out there.
And now, she's tired of looking around the same old room, watching her friend scroll on her phone endlessly.
This is something we all know well because when we go out, we see people on their phones everywhere. On the street, at a restaurant, in a line, pretty much anywhere you go, you see people staring at their phones, not knowing what they're really doing or why they're so addicted to it.
Still, they're not really putting it down. It's been this way for quite some time, so it's really nothing new, but this song expresses a lot of the frustration, along with some of the sadness, about the entire thing.
It's not just about wanting people to put their phones down. It's not just about wanting your friend or loved one to look up from their phone so you can talk to them again; it's also about missing the times when they paid less attention to the thing.
It's about trying to get someone's attention and having to fight past the phone in order to do so.
This is a part of everyone's life now. I find it refreshing to hear a song that pinpoints the bits of sullen frustration it causes.
Soon enough, drums come in, and shortly after that, a few more layers of guitars come in with a bit of a heavier crunch to them, but nothing over the top.
Still, the main chorus of the track is a burst of energy and the Pinnacle of the point.
The title of the track is 'Get Off Your Phone", and if that doesn't say it all I don't know what does.
She just wants you to get off the phone. She doesn't want to fight for your attention anymore, and that's something that a lot of us feel but don't always have the guts to say out loud, especially to the people we love or are close with.
She goes on to sing about how you're really missing life, missing the point of living, and not really experiencing what you should be, because you're stuck on the phone all the time.
Brilliantly done and pop-riddled, but articulately put.
I love this chorus simply because she doesn't just stop at telling you to get off the phone, but instead sings about how you'll probably regret it one day.
One day, you look back and see that you missed out on some really good stuff because of that phone.
The second verse goes into how it's a repetitive action. After that big chorus, it exhales back down to guitars and vocals again, and she goes on about how she's sitting on the same couch, at 2:00 p.m., watching her friend doom scroll again.
It's actually very unafraid. She's not holding back from speaking her mind, and in doing so, she's making a bold statement that everyone thinks about.
During those chorus parts, she gets slightly southern in her melodies, beckoning hints of rock Americana, but really the song sticks more to its rock roots, with plenty of that pop tone to boot.
This is endlessly catchy, in all honesty.
She's also quite humorous about it at times, with lines like "I guess I'll never get a mention, cause your vitamin deficient now."
That's the thing, she's not all super serious about it, but instead takes a funnier approach to letting out those frustrations.
She's also recently released a music video to go along with a single that you don't want to miss, either.
Although this is an outstanding single to get on Hanna's page, I would also definitely check out "Braveheart", released a little earlier this year, because that's an intense and cinematic single, along with 2024's "Stranded In The Middle" album, as they both show different sides to her personality and some of her other musical influences.
Take a deep dive into this track now and check out some of her previous releases.
Remember where you heard it all first.
