For New York-based artist Tara Hack, music is a way to document the nuances of modern existence and love. Growing up on Long Island, her childhood was a symphony of classic tunes from the 40s and 50s, with a diet of Bing Crosby, Etta James, the Rat Pack and the Glenn Miller Band. This early immersion in timeless music laid the foundation for Tara’s own artistic vision, imbuing her with a profound appreciation for melody and storytelling.
Her influences span the spectrum from the classics that adorned her youth to modern artists like Coldplay, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch. Tara’s musical journey has now brought her to the studio, where she’s writing and recording her debut original album. In this creative process, Tara Hack is empowered, firmly steering the ship of her artistic vision.
With her latest single, “Who Is Hurting Who,” she’s linked up with renowned producer K-Warren, known for his role in the group Architechs as well as a renowned garage music innovator. Released via Benny D’s label, Ben-Addiction Music, this track catapults Tara’s soulful sound to a new sphere.
The song kicks off with the rhythmic pulse of drums, conjuring a UK garage-inspired groove. Tara’s glossy vocals glide into the mix, weaving infectious melodies backed by a lush choir of voices that amplifies the central question of the song, “tell me who, who is hurting who.”
This catchy, beat-driven cut sees Tara Hack’s songwriting panache shine through as she explores the complexities of a troubled love story. It dives into the intricate dance of emotions between two individuals as they navigate the thorny path of a relationship teetering on the brink.
Propelled by bass synth shots and lifted by intricate sonic flutters, the song also features a vocal section from the immensely talented artist Joe ‘2 Ton’ Killington, adding his soulful flair to the song’s aesthetic. “Who Is Hurting Who” offers up a sensational example of Tara Hack’s incredible voice as well as her collaborative spirit.
