Hannah Grae shares new single: “One half of me wanted to express my rage and the other half wanted to make myself laugh”

Hannah Grae has just unleashed a brand-new single, Star Crossed Lover.

Given its live debut at last weekend’s Bludfest before the official release today (August 16), the track is the first thing we’ve heard from the singer-songwriter since her mini album Nothing Lasts Forever in March, and it encapsulates a range of emotions and experiences…

“When I wrote Star Crossed Lover, one half of me wanted to express my rage and the other half of me wanted to make myself laugh,” Hannah explains. “I was in an empowered position as I began to move on from the destruction of my last relationship. A huge part of it was inspired by heartbreak but an even bigger part of it was driven by how proud of myself I was, and still am. My strength surprised me as I started to rediscover my life. I thought I knew nothing about myself, and after living in that turmoil for too long, I decided to let it excite me.

“It’s one of those songs that will always make me feel deeply,” she continues. “In moments where I need to make light of my situation, I listen to it, and remember that I have the ability to turn something negative into something that helps me heal and grow.”
