Zimbabwean-Ethiopian lyricist, Hanna is a trailblazing force in South Africa’s rap revolution who has rapidly been making a name for herself in the SA music scene and beyond by continuously evolving and exploring new genre influences.
Her recently released and impressive single ‘Pride’ was released last month and today Hanna has dropped off a new single titled ‘Guilt Free’ alongside announcing her upcoming EP called ‘Guilt Free’ which is expected to be released on May 17th.
Guilt Free is an uplifting anthem featuring triumphant horns carrying affirmations on everything from following your dreams to setting boundaries in relationships. I wrote this song after my graduation, relieved to finally be able to pursue music without guilt. It’s a song is full of energy and motivation making it the perfect pick-me-up as the title track of my upcoming EP.
About the EP Hanna says, “The Guilt Free EP began as a nod to my graduation and the freedom to wholeheartedly pursue my dreams thereafter, but later evolved into an exploration of self-love and the guilt of self-preservation. It’s a diverse collection of sounds with influences ranging from pop to R&B to trap and even gospel, maintaining strong hip hop roots with powerfully relatable lyrics. It’s a feel-good project which will leave you feeling refreshed, triumphant, validated, and rooting for yourself more than you were before.”
