Hannah White follows "Sweet Revolution" which won the Americana Music "ALBUM OF THE YEAR" award with "Fine Day", - another contender for the title.
Every career path has different twists and turns, but there aren't many in which someone who was a homeless single mother struggling for her very survival becomes a three-time UK Americana Award winner. In fact, there is one. Her name is Hannah White, and she is about to make 2025 even more of a banner year with the release of her new album Fine Day.
At January's AMA Awards in London, in front of such dignitaries and fellow performers as Lyle Lovett and Candi Staton, Hannah won both UK Artist of the Year and UK Album of the Year for 2023's Sweet Revolution. 2023 was also the year in which she won UK Song of the Year with the arrestingly autobiographical 'Car Crash.'
Along the way, she's toured as special guest of Jools Holland, Ricky Ross and Paul Carrack, released a new single each month for 12 months, played live sessions on BBC Radio Scotland & BBC Radio Ulster, and been featured on 6Music and BBC Radio 2 by Cerys Matthews and Bob Harris. Hannah's name is also traveling transatlantically: she has received a highly prestigious invitation from the Americana Music Association to perform an official showcase at AmericanaFest in Nashville in September.
Fine Day is a collection of songs that delve into the complexities of love, beauty and grief, but also confront the chaos, violence, and madness of today's world with White's typical candor and bravery. From the opening chords of the fearlessly challenging 'Good Questions,' you know that, as usual, no subject is beyond her lyrical scope.
As you hear the fingers on the strings and the keys, and as real, tactile band interactions envelop you, there's a reassuring sense of permanence, of a record that will still sound this good in 10 or 20 years. As for genre? It defies them, for as much as Hannah remains a shining light on the Americana scene, these songs and their performances also warmly acknowledge country, folk, pop, blues, rock and even gospel.
