Jen Wilson discovers Hannah Robinson’s ode to breaking up is an ethereal gem
Grab your car keys (or your bus pass) and lose yourself in the constant drum beat and smooth vocals of Hannah Robinson, as Hypnotised propels you through the stages of a break-up, told from both male and female perspectives.
It’s not really an emotional tale of loss, evoking instead the initial loneliness and the unavoidable need to move forward with your life without looking back. I loved the contrast of the energetic drum and classic guitar riffs, it feels very reminiscent of The Bangles and Hannah’s ethereal yet husky voice blends well and is not overpowered, rather emphasising the mixed feelings of separating yourself from a person you were once part of.
