Estonian singer Hannah – new single “Keeping Score” co-written/produced by Steve Robson
By bandweblogs on May 21, 2009 in New Releases, Press Releases | Tags: Estonia, Hannah, Steve Booker, Steve Robson
It’s over ten years since Hannah’s blend of incisive ballads and savvy pop first made its mark in Estonia. She’s been a proud flag-bearer for her country, with massive record success on six albums.
Now, for summer 2009, the stakes are raised again and Hannah is in impressive company. The singer, writer and pianist from Tallinn has been composing and recording with some of the most in-demand sidemen in the business.
The roll call includes Steve Robson, co-writer of Take That’s “Shine”, James Morrison’s “Undiscovered” and “The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore”, among others; Steve Booker, co-writer and producer of Duffy’s “Mercy” smash and collaborator with Sugababes; Grant Black, who wrote Liberty X’s “Song 4 Lovers” and songs for Holly Valance, Peter Grant et al; and Peter-John Vettese, whose quarter-century-plus in the business includes credits with everyone from Annie Lennox to Carly Simon and Gary Barlow to Robin Gibb.
The first fruit of these fascinating combinations is the single “Keeping Score”, co-written with and produced by Steve Robson, and due out on June 29, 2009 on Snowdog Records.
It’s a nimble piece of noughties pop that’s also a perfect fit for the clubs, via remixes by Bimbo Jones, Digital Dog and Riffs & Rays, some of the most sought-after DJ-producers of this dance decade. It’s a perfect aperitif for Hannah’s new album, due in September.
“This is like a new chapter for me,” she says. “I really didn’t understand how this part of the world worked before I moved to London. It’s really difficult to be successful somewhere when you’re based somewhere else, so for me that was the perfect decision. I hope everything will go in the right direction, because it just feels so right now.”
