London, United Kingdom based artist, Jamie Hannah spent Covid-19 lockdowns reinvigorating his creative lifestyle.
The pandemic, for Jamie was an opportunity to return to his classical music roots and redesign a creativity in music of haunting, yet uplifting soundscapes. It was also a time where he took to carparks and created socially distanced shows for the elderly in nursing homes and neighbours, stuck in their apartment blocks.
In December 2021, Jamie took to the stage on ITV’s ‘Walk The Line’, where he received glowing reports from the likes of Gary Barlow (Take That), Craig David (artist), Dawn French (Actor, Comedian, Writer), Boy George (artist) and Dame Emma Thompson (Actress).
The latest single from Jamie Hannah, and first release from his upcoming EP, ‘Flowers’ was inspired by a quote by Xan Oku, “May the flowers remind us why the rain was necessary”.
“This quote resonated in me while creating ‘Flowers’ while in lockdown, allowing me to look deep within myself to examine my own personal experience of love – both good and less good. It was a cathartic process. It is primarily a song about the universal quest to find love; it tries to evoke the joyous yet volatile beauty of love. Allowing yourself to fall in love is a huge jump into the unknown and takes bravery and strength.” Jamie Hannah
Written alongside producers, Andrea Rocha and Anna Straker, Jamie says “When you listen to my new song I want you to feel that it is OK to feel vulnerable searching for love. Getting hurt or being let down during the process is a necessary part of life – to have experience the euphoria and the joy to smell the flowers. We have all experienced similar challenges – and its time for us for us not to feel so alone in the discovery process.”
