Music review:
The perfect combination of beat, moan, vocals and effects, dynamic and intuitive, with a pleasing energy in its midst. It catches the ear, attracts the audience and, above all, stimulates the audience’s cells, bringing the power of excitement and the desire to dance with the musicians. By the way, it cannot be overlooked that the very exotic and multicultural nature of her upbringing is reflected in her work.
Hannan’s use of drums is memorable and the exoticism is highlighted. The combination of vocals and electronic music is modern and chic, and the presence of a musical effects processor is a further surprise. The electronic processors play an unmistakable rhythmic role in the overall grasp of the sound, and could be used as music for a model runway show or a midnight club. The style is unique.
