For Carlie Hanson, too late to cry is more than just a collection of songs—it’s a milestone. It marks her first release under Fearless Records and, more importantly, her first project made on her own terms.
“I wrote a lot of this in my apartment in L.A.,” Hanson recalls. “It was just me, my thoughts, and my keyboard.” That DIY approach is reflected in the EP’s intimate production, which blends alt-pop melodies with organic instrumentation.
Each song carries its own weight. “how many hours?” captures late-night overthinking with hypnotic synths, while “nutshell” strips things down to raw acoustic emotion. “covering faces,” the EP’s most talked-about track, was born out of a freestyle session—proof that sometimes the most powerful songs come from instinct rather than over-analysis.
By stepping into the role of both artist and producer, Hanson has created a body of work that’s authentically hers. too late to cry isn’t just a turning point in her career—it’s a declaration that Carlie Hanson is here to stay.
