Hannah Grace has released the video for her brand new track, ‘With You’. The release comes ahead of the announcement that Grace will be performing two shows, in April this year, one in London, at Camden Assembly, and the second in Cardiff, at Clwb Ifor Bach.
Hannah Vivian-Byrne, known as Hannah Grace kicked 2019 off with a bang, with the latest taste of brand new music in the shape of, ‘With You’. The release of ‘With You’ comes ahead of two live dates, this April. The Welsh singer/song-writer will be taking to the stage in Cardiff, on the 8th of April 2019, before heading to London, on the 9th of April 2019.
Already proving a radio hit, including hitting the A-List on BBC Radio Wales, ‘With You’ has been described as being “a bold demonstration of Grace’s jaw-dropping soulful vocals among a stirring jazz-influenced backing of horns, piano and beautiful harmonies. It has been described as a vibrant palette of colour and emotional sentiment and an atmospheric and touching interpretation of the track, the video visualises the healing power of companionship and the importance of being there for those in need.”
Speaking about the video for, ‘With You’, Grace said: “The music video for ‘With You’ was inspired by the Japanese art ‘Kintsugi’ – repairing broken objects with gold. As a philosophy it treats breakage as part of the history of an object rather than something to disguise or hide and I just love this! I wanted to also get this idea across through movement.”
Continuing Grace said, “With the help of an amazing choreographer Simon we put together some movements that convey my friends being there for me when I’m broken and the routine shows them pulling me through, holding & physically supporting me. I’ve always wanted to move in a music video and it was amazing to get to work with such great dancers!”
The release of ‘With You’ follows the release of her single ‘Oh River’, last year. The beautiful ballad saw Hannah stun listeners with her vocals, which saw the likes of Dermot O’Leary and his team clear space on his Radio 2 show to share her voice. She’s also appeared on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show and Zoe Ball’s ITV programme, in addition to a slot at the BBC Biggest Weekend for Radio 2, in Perth, Scotland.
“I am so excited to finally be sharing ‘With You’. I wrote this song about wanting to reach out to someone who seemed a bit lost. To let them know I was there for them. Recently, I have been lucky enough to be reminded just how many people are there for me when I really need them. I have the best friends and this song will always remind me of that,” says Grace, about her new single.
Hannah Grace closed 2018 with the release of the collaborative Christmas EP ‘December’ alongside Gabrielle Aplin. The lead single and title track featured on 14 ‘New Music Friday’ Spotify playlists, and was spotlighted in the UK and US Top 10, as well as being played on Radio 2. The EP also featured three beautiful covers of classic Christmas tracks.
Hannah’s career took off in 2013, after catching the attention of Gabrielle Aplin, who founded Never Fade RECORDS, through her covers which she uploaded onto YouTube. Her covers have since gone on to win over even more high profile supporters, which saw Aplin sign her to Never Fade Records, which is distributed worldwide, by AWAL. Hannah also accompanied Aplin on her ‘English Rain’ album tour, in 2013.
In 2017 Hannah caught the attention of Lady Gaga after posting a cover of her hit ‘Million Reasons’, which provoked Gaga to tweet the video and call Hannah a “superstar”. Meanwhile in the same year her cover of ‘Praise You’ sound tracked the Lloyds Bank TV advert and clocked up over 3 million streams.
