Contemporary indie artist Hannah Stone is gradually unveiling more of herself one song at a time, skipping across genres and boiling various styles into her own soup.
With a deep appreciation for the limitless bounty that is music today, Stone imparts her own offerings, sharing a bit of her world through each song she releases, crossing over from indie-rock to alternative-acoustic and back. She is a regular performer in the NJ tri-state area, where she continues to compose new music and operates as an independent artist.
Her newest single, Don't Say I Love You, reveals a softer side of the singer-songwriter. The lyrics express Stone’s acknowledgement that vulnerability is a crucial element of love—of life. With it’s slow, hypnotic thrum of reverberant keys paired with the gentle heartbeat of drums, Hannah’s dreamy vocal emotes a tender plea, "Don't say I love you if you don't mean it". Performed and co-produced by Stone along with Danny Austin-Manning, Tyler Chester, Tejas Leier Heyden and Sam Weber, "Don't Say I Love You" is a beautifully and serendipitously crafted track—a sweet morsel for the ears.
