Need a reminder to simply get off your phone every now and then, and stop the mindless scrolling? Then Hanna Andrea’s anti-social media anthem, ‘GET OFF YOUR PHONE,’ might just be the sign you were asking for.
Accelerating in as the signature hit from her forthcoming EP ‘Braveheart,’ ‘GET OFF YOUR PHONE’ on the surface is an instantly familiar rock-pop hit, overflowing with the kind of infectious, breezy energy that would soundtrack your favourite ‘2000’s teen movie starring Lindsey Lohan. But this isn’t any old nostalgic earworm – it’s a timely message challenging the domination of social media in our lives.
The title says it all, reflecting the idea that we’re letting memories and enjoyable moments slip out of reach as we spend too much time glued to our phone, app-surfing rather than staring up at the sky. Andrea’s lyrics serve as a sharp, social commentary – capped off with a fan, sassy edge that keeps its meaning playful and eye-roll-esque – ‘cause you’re on your PHONE,’ she mutters with a theatrical tone.
Armed with energetic riffs, conversational vocals and melodies that stick, ‘GET OFF YOUR PHONE’ steps away from Andrea’s trademark cinematic sound and expands into something more unapologetic and in-your-face.
And there is more still to come: the imminent arrival of her EP ‘Braveheart,’ a fearless testament to the depth of her songwriting and the clarity of her voice, alongside a vibrant new pop musical, Muse! The Shakespeare Mayhem Musical, set to premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, for which she has penned the songs.
A multi-faceted artist in full bloom, she stands at the threshold – this is only the beginning for the young Norwegian-American rising star, carving her own luminous path.
Listen now – and GET OFF YOUR PHONE!
