And it's clear Hannah has poured all of her love into this EP. With beats that flow together and Hannah's alluring husky and melodic voice providing a through-line, this album is undeniably all hers.

The album starts with a song tied to the difficult decisions Hannah has had to make to pursue music. ‘Leave Perth’ is a ballad to feeling trapped in a hometown, with soft, meditative electronic synth to capture the melancholy atmosphere. Written because she felt like she had to leave to chase her dream of being a musician, Hannah dwells on how much she wants to leave but how she doesn’t want to leave her loved ones behind.

Then, 'In The Dark' is a slow, magical song with gentle guitar and a raw and honest atmosphere. Though it was written when Hannah was in a dark place with little faith in the song, it quickly became a favourite of her fans whenever she performed it at live shows. It flows into the next song, keeping the soft, soothing atmosphere.

‘But I Lie’ dwells on the trials and tribulations that come with a sapphic relationship, exploring how it feels to hide a relationship and how rocky things can get through the sound of pulsing synth and sweet layered vocals.

‘Dawson Road’ lifts up the mood with a guitar riff guiding the song to something a little more poppy: it’s a wistful reflection of the ties two people have even once a relationship has ended.

'Hard Facts' has electric drum and bass and a slow, groovy pace with a touch of rap that dwells on how experiences shape a life, but how at the end of the day the person you are is the one you choose to be.

Finally, ‘Shade On Your Name’ features an industrial electronic sound palette and a bass drop with a woman’s voicemail, adding a twist to the song that tells a story of the post-betrayal malaise and the internal conflict that comes with it.
