Nordic pop artist Hanna Andrea has forged her own atmospheric pop sound with a cinematic sensibility, paired with the kind of youthful relatability that resonates across generations. Now, as she prepares for the release of her highly anticipated EP Braveheart, she's set to captivate listeners once more with the new single Pinnacles - a complex portrait of the pursuit of ambition at a time when we're constantly striving for perfection.
Across the EP so far, Andrea has been showcasing a fusion of topical social commentary and a direct illustration of her own experiences. While lead single GET OFF YOUR PHONE took direct aim at social media obsession and how, ultimately, staring at a screen is making us miss life's most important moments, Pinnacles delivers something more abstract and whimsical, unfolding as an emotional pop ballad that pairs memorable hooks, flourishes of piano and acoustic guitar, and colourful harmonies to craft a dreamy melodic number.
Pinnacles - thanks to its heart-wrenching refrain, "Feels Like Falling" - captures the relentless drive to run faster, work harder and dream bigger, all while your hopes and ambitions seem to be slipping out of reach.
The two can coexist, and Andrea effortlessly portrays that melancholy with her captivating vocal performance, ethereal and caught up in her own whirlwind. It's a touching tribute to anyone striving for success, and a reminder to breathe and let the universe do its thing.
When ambition comes to mind, Andrea certainly fits the mould. Alongside her forthcoming EP, she's composed music for a Shakespeare-inspired pop musical MUSE, which premiered at the iconic Edinburgh Fringe this week. A nod to her theatrical sound and unwavering creativity, it's further proof that she's more than just a rising pop star – she's someone who's truly dedicated to evolving her artistry in a way that's incredibly exciting for an artist so early in her career.
If Pinnacles is any indication, Braveheart is set to offer a raw, honest portrait of a young artist navigating the ongoing complexities of modern life.A cinematic pop soundtrack that unfolds like a quest for bravery, this track unveils its sweeping moment of vulnerability: the dark horse of yet another promising collection.
