Today, Hannah Jane Lewis unveils her debut single ‘Why Start A War’ – a sumptuous, extravagant slice of vibrant synth-pop. This is the first track to be lifted from her debut EP, set for release 17th June, 2016.

You can check it out over on Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, The Most Radicalist, and below.

Brought up in the cultural hot-bed of New York City, Hannah’s early exposure to the innovative and experimental creativity of the East Village, helped mould her into the artist she is today. Since moving back to the UK, a number of months and many late nights have been spent creating, and refining a sound of her own. Unashamedly inspired by the London contemporary pop scene – Hannah’s work with fellow songwriter Andrea Rocha has resulted in a stunning debut EP, which will see a release this summer, on June 17th.

Electronic pop at its finest, ‘Why Start A War’ is a huge statement of intent from the young artist. Sleek electronic-tinged piano chords guide the verses, with Hannah’s celestial vocals twirling around a triumphant rhythm section. Hannah incorporates cinematic songwriting traits, with thumping dance floor ready pop – creating something truly irresistible.

Speaking on the release of her first single, Hannah Jane Lewis has explained where the track stands lyrically: “‘Why Start A War’ is about when you really want to help someone you can see is struggling but they won’t let you in. So you kind of have to watch them battle it out in their mind and just be there when its over, which can be hard when its someone you’re close to'”.

Navigating the complexities of relationships in her lyrics, Hannah’s sound seamlessly switches between dark, introspective undertones, and playful electronic pop. Letting her life influence her lyrics, Hannah’s debut EP encompasses a variety of influences, sounds, and experiences – and will no doubt be the start of a very exciting year ahead.
