Rising alt-pop singer-songwriter Martha Hill is poised to announce her debut EP with the arrival of ‘Be Still’ this September and will pre-empt its release with a brand new track ‘Pick Me Up’, once again portraying Hill’s charm and elegant fragility.
About the EP, she says: “I wanted my debut EP to be a self-portrait; something to introduce me and my music, and I feel like “Be Still” does just that. It’s all about navigating who I am as an individual and also in relation to the world around me—all the different people, relationships, situations, mental states. It’s all about being in your early 20s and just trying to suss it all out. It’s also an exploration musically—I like to touch on lots of different genres, the only common thread really being my voice and my story. In keeping with the theme of exploration, each track more or less was written and recorded at completely different times with different people, giving it a laid back and journey like quality.”
An evocative journey hand-in-hand with faithful instrumentation, accompanied by a seductive and seemingly effortless delivery, ‘Be Still’ draws on a myriad of influences from pop, indie, folk and soul, marking a new chapter and makes for an impressive introduction to a wonderful new artist.
