Hana Lili, the promising Welsh artist, continues to rise with her latest single 'Iconic', following the success of her previous release 'Basement'. Garnering attention from Radio 1 Future Pop hosts like Mollie King and Maia Beth, Hana has been on a steady rise, from sharing stages with Coldplay to performing alongside Circa Waves and Tom Grennan.
'Iconic' bursts forth with a blend of captivating melodies and raw guitars, showcasing Hana's knack for crafting alt-pop tunes infused with the emotional turmoil reminiscent of emo. Her vocals strike a delicate balance, blending clarity with the poignant reflections of overanalyzed experiences. Each of her songs resonates deeply, capturing intensely personal moments and steadily expanding her fan base.
In describing 'Iconic', Hana shares that it delves into the complexities of a fleeting connection, where everything seemed significant yet left unresolved. It's a poignant exploration of the blurred lines between reality and imagination, particularly in the realm of unspoken emotions and unfulfilled desires.
The artwork for 'Iconic' mirrors this theme, depicting Hana amidst flames, seemingly disconnected from her surroundings—a visual representation of the song's introspective nature. Through her music and accompanying visuals, Hana finds liberation in embracing the chaos of her imagination, forging a strong connection between her lyrical narratives and visual representations.
Collaborating with co-writer/co-producer Daniel Newcombe (JERUB) and co-writer Mark Vallance (Tom Walker), Hana's creative process for 'Iconic' remains deeply rooted in authenticity. Drawing from her childhood experiences in the local folk scene of Sully, South Wales, Hana's musical journey has evolved through self-taught production skills and a diverse range of influences, from classic acts like The Cardigans and Nirvana to contemporary favorites like Wolf Alice and Wet Leg.
As Hana's music continues to resonate with audiences, her live performances have grown in stature, with upcoming appearances at The Great Escape and the Dot To Dot Festival. With her undeniable talent and genuine approach to music, Hana Lili is poised for even greater success on the global stage.
