Hannah Trigwell Releases Track "We're All Gonna Die"

Leeds based singer-songwriter and guitarist Hannah Trigwell is set to releases brand new single, “We’re All Gonna Die.” Following the launch of bass-driven single “Attention” from her sophomore album (due mid 2020).

“We’re All Gonna Die” describes the process of realising that negative (and positive) situations are temporary, summarised by the lyrics ‘You gotta go through bad times to realise they don’t last.’ Nursery-rhyme piano melodies, electro synths and vocoder effects (simulating children’s voices) are combined with hip-hop drum samples and philosophical lyrics to produce a truly unique pop song.

The track is reflective, and unexpectedly uplifting; “it’s about getting through a really rough patch, coming out of the other side, and being really grateful to be alive. A lot of people close to me have struggled with their mental health and it’s amazing to see them thriving now. I wanted to talk about the feeling of being thankful that you didn’t throw it all away when times got hard. The song points to how hard it is to be optimistic when you are experiencing a really low moment, but what a shame it would be if you missed out on future good times.”

Hannah may be best known for her YouTube channels, where over the space of 12 years she has accumulated over 120 million views and 600,000 subscribers. Famous for her delicate covers of pop songs, Hannah has also experienced chart success with her original material, including two number one singles (original song “Headrush” in Laos and Vietnam) and various international chart positions for original debut album RED (#4 Malaysia, #18 Denmark).

From humble beginnings busking on the streets of her hometown Leeds, to amassing millions of hits on her first video to go viral, Hannah has maintained her love for songwriting. In the late 00s, Hannah was encouraged by her peers to upload the covers she was busking to a new video platform called YouTube. In those very early days of YouTube, uploading content was like throwing things up against a wall to see what sticks, as the platform was still developing and people were getting to grips with what it was to be used for.

“Back then it took a long time for anyone to see the video. There were less creators so you were more likely to get featured -YouTube as a platform was still developing as I was developing as an artist, so everything was improving at the same time – my ability and the platforms popularity.’ Click to visit Hannah’s YouTube Page.

As the platform and Hannah’s popularity grew, ravenous fans from far reaching corners of the world were begging for original music. Hannah released two EPs (Pieces, 2012 and Rectify, 2014), amongst a host of albums collecting her song covers from YouTube. Following up with three sell-out tours of the UK and Europe, support from BBC Introducing, performing at the Isle of Wight and T In The Park Festivals, Hannah also won ‘Best Unsigned Artist’ in the Online Music Awards.

In 2015, her international success with the single “Headrush” became national news, although she was completely unaware of its success until a Twitter alert brought it to her attention a month after the fact. Her debut album RED received critical acclaim from numerous national publications including Hello Magazine, which featured Hannah as one of their ‘Rising Stars of 2019.’

Through all of this, Hannah has remained the epitome of an independent artist, both in her music career and content creation. “It’s great to be independent because you have complete creative control, but it is a lot of work. I film and edit all of my videos and music videos and I create my own artwork, so there’s always a lot to do, but I love it.”
