Lovely track. Glad you are working things out through your art. Looking forward to 'Ups And Downs'. Be well.

Only recently discovered your music (The stunning 'More Than That' Balcony TV performance). I love your voice and the way you build the song reaching those soaring vocal highs at the end. I now expect them! Thank you for your wonderful music. Soul bearing positivity!!!

très jolie chanson, really pretty song with beautiful shades!

Ups and Downs is the first single from Hattie's second EP 'Old Soul'.

Ups And Downs

Hattie Whitehead does not pull her punches. Raised on folk and jazz greats of the sixties and seventies, her smart lyrics and powerful, outspoken voice blend folk sensibilities with a modern sound shaped by her discovery of contemporary genres. 

Born into an artistic family, Hattie’s first three EPs have been endorsed by press and radio such as the iPaper, Songwriting Magazine, BBC Wales and London, with Jazzwise describing her in 2024 as “one of the greatest singers I have ever heard. Not just in vocal tone, range, accuracy, enunciation, and sheer confidence, but in interpretation.” 

On ‘Mechanism’ (November 2023), she dives into the experience of loss that permeates much of her material. Written in response to the loss of her mother, the songs explore her relationship with grief that is even more relevant in the post-pandemic world we live in today. 

Following her meeting and collaboration with producer John Reynolds (Sinead O’Connor), Autumn 2024 will see Hattie release her debut album. This record takes Hattie's unflinching honesty in songwriting and delves into existential themes of empowerment, family, womanhood and relationships with a tone of re-growth and optimism following a period of intense grieving.
