Jamie Hannah has shared a snippet of his upcoming tune Oblivion on his social media channels alongside behind the scenes footage from his new single’s photo shoot.
Hannah first came to our attention when he was in the UK a few years ago making gorgeous pop tunes and signed to Boy George’s record label. The pair recorded the excellent single House of Truth together. He later went on to appear on British talent show Walk the Line, where he impressed judges Craig David, Gary Barlow, Dawn French and Alesha Dixon.
Recently Hannah has built up a new legion of fans online by recording well known pop songs as if they were operatic Italian arias. He’s delivered stunningly beautiful takes on Madonna’s Like a Prayer, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love.
His latest work continues along the classical scale blending beautiful music with a pop sensibility. Now based in the USA Hannah has got new music to share.
Jamie Hannah will release his new song Oblivion on 1 May, and it’s the first track from a forthcoming EP.
To create the new tune Hannah joined writers Christopher Braide (SIA, Lana Del Rey), and Lindy Robbins (Demi Lovato, Matteo Bocelli). Oblivion explores themes of self-forgiveness and emotional release, unfolding through a cinematic arrangement that builds from intimate moments into sweeping vocal climaxes.
Since relocating to California, he has expanded his sound through collaborations with a range of producers and songwriters while staying true to his LGBTQ+ identity and using his music to champion inclusivity. He has also worked with legendary songwriter Diane Warren who has penned nine previous US number 1 singles including tracks by Aerosmith, Cher, LeAnn Rimes and Celine Dion.
Hannah posted a behind the scenes clip of a recent photoshoot to promote the single, and it features a snippet of the new tune.
OUTinPerth has heard the entire tune and can confirm it’s an incredibly beautiful new song that showcases Jamie Hannah’s huge vocal range. Alongside the amazing vocals is a engaging repeated piano hook and profoundly meaningful lyrics.
Look out for Oblivion on 1 May.
