Hannah Aldridge releases new single ‘Save Yourself’ featuring The Black Feathers taken from Hannah’s upcoming album ‘Live in Black and White‘
With every song, Hannah Aldridge is facing down demons of a life once lived from substance abuse to failed relationships and scars from the lashes of the bible belt. Raised in the extremely religious State of Alabama, Hannah has since young years felt an affinity to the darkness found in the Southern Gothic themes and has developed a fondness of writing songs with elements of horror brought on by dark thoughts of depression or hopelessness. Finding a calling in exploring these heavy-laden feelings and impulses that we all have, but are typically afraid to indulge in she explains,
“The devil and darkness were always the boogeyman under the bed for me. It still is honestly. So that naturally weaves itself into a lot of songs. I find it extremely fun to sit and think of what type of song I would write for a particular scene in a movie or subjects that really scare me.”
Hannah is not only a daughter of the American south but also of the Muscle Shoals legend Walt Aldridge. She launched her career with her 2014 debut ‘Razor Wire’ in which she worked with Jason Isbell (The 400 Unit) and recorded one of his songs on the album along with Brad Pemberton (Ryan Adams and the Cardinals). The debut-album drew attention of music critics and sent her touring across the world, the live scene really taking a hold of the singer early on seeing as over the last 7 years she’s played in over 10 different countries. Her second full-length album ‘Gold Rush‘ features Sadler Vaden (Drivin n’ Cryin’) playing on Jason Isbell’s guitar, and was mixed and engineered by Allen Parker, Chief Engineer for Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys.
