Alternative Pop from Shannon Hawley

Hailing from Point Pleasant in New Jersey, singer-songwriter Shannon Hawley offers her own original style of pop music that’s woven with rich story-telling lyricism to paint vivid sonic pictures. First unveiling her sound in 2015, she released her debut album A Different Kind of Progress, providing the perfect introduction to her delicate songwriting and blissful vocal style.

Taking influence from poets such as Rumi, Rilke, Mary Oliver and Tagore, her first record offered a collection of charming fairy tales captured via an intimate sound of acoustic arrangements and softly delivered vocals. Now making her return with the first new studio music in almost eight years, Shannon Hawley brings us her brand new single titled “Our History”.

Offering a completely different side to her musical repertoire, this time she’s linked up with producer and collaborator Nekter Gun to inject synths and electronic tones into her sound. Laying down a spacey beat and atmospheric sonic textures, with “Our History”, the artist marks a stark departure from her previous sound with a euphoric electronic pop outing.

Led by her compelling vocal work and lifted by layers of immersive synthesisers blended with crunching guitar tones, on her latest single Shannon Hawley makes a triumphant re-emergence as an artist with a completely fresh creative vision.

Looking to the lives of her ancestors as well as women’s stories for inspiration, “Our History” is a truly alluring new song from a talented and versatile artist who promises to delight fans around the world even more with her forthcoming sophomore record, Starthrowers.
