Hana McCartney has released her new single, Dope. We asked her the BIG questions . . .
Dope is from Hana's upcoming EP and speaking about the track, she says, "The idea of each song having a drug reference or innuendo was already in my mind when I started writing this album.
"Taking taboo topics like abusive relationships, substance abuse, addiction, and mental health and personifying them into stories that are relevant to me, and others can relate to was my goal."
How would you describe your music?
I would say my music is a mixture of everything I love. A little psychedelic a little blues and rock.
Who are your musical inspirations?
The Beatles and The Doors are some of my biggest inspirations. I love the way they were always evolving and changing and pushing limits. I also love Lana Del Rey and Amy Winehouse. Their lyrics are always so powerful. I would also say just 60s music in general.
What was the first gig you ever went to?
The first gig I ever went to was at a local coffee shop in my town.
What was the first record you ever bought?
The first record I ever got was for my birthday when I was younger, and it was With The Beatles.
What's your favourite song right now?
Walk on By by Dionne Warwick.
Favourite lyric of all time?
It’s hard to choose just one but if I had to it would be "Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders, Smooth as raven's claws" from An American Prayer by Jim Morrison.
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Easily I would listen to When The Music’s Over by The Doors.
Where can people find your music/more information about you?
Any of my social media you can find me under hanamccartneyofficial and my website.
