Hannah Stow – Sounds of Oz

Boorloo/Perth-based pop artist Hannah Stow has my heart with “I Never Changed.” This bittersweet indie-pop ballad unravels the aftermath of a relationship breakdown caused by two people moving in different directions. Hannah’s sincere vocals bring her introspective lyrics to life so beautifully.

“This track is about giving someone everything and them being fake and switching up who they are whilst you stay consistent,” Hannah said, “Being so bound by the bare minimum and lowering your expectations when you date someone. Forgetting your worth and begging them to stay and hear you out. Trying to be what they need when you don’t even believe in yourself enough to stand by what you need.”

Hannah has built a strong reputation as a force on stage with supporting slots for 360 and sold out shows of her own. She’s got a couple of shows scheduled for the coming months, so if you’re out West make sure you get along to discover what all the buzz is about.

Hannah Stow has thoroughly charmed me with “Sunflowers,” a love song with a difference. This sweet track explores a budding relationship with a healthy mix of heart and cynicism.

“My girlfriend said she loved me after three weeks of dating and I was trying to prove to her that what she felt was lust and not love. I said, ‘You know nothing about me,’ and she said, ‘I know your favourite colour is red, you didn’t walk until you were two because everyone kept picking you up, and I don’t know if they’re your favourite – but I know for sure you like Sunflowers’. The moment she said that I knew it would make a catchy song,” Hannah said. “So, ‘Sunflowers’ discusses the point in a relationship right after someone says ‘I love you’ where you’re feeling like they don’t know you well enough to express those emotions. It unpacks the moment you’re being proven wrong as they highlight facts about you which you thought they never listened to.”

I love the intimacy of this track. It’s so lyrically good, and the minimalist instrumentation makes sure you don’t miss a word. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing more from Hannah.
