Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com
Glasgow singer-songwriter Hannah Slavin creates catchy electro-pop. She first rose to prominence as part of nine-piece vocal group Leeds Contemporary Singers in 2017, when they won BBC One’s Pitch Battle and since then she’s earned support from BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing and was interviewed on BBC Radio Scotland’s flagship Afternoon Show with Grant Stott just last week.
New single Mac & Cheese is released on Friday and is one of her most vulnerable yet. The lyrical content sees Slavin opening up about mental health challenges following a bad break-up and the additional impact of self-isolating. Next Sunday and again on 14 June, Hannah performs a Virtual Tour across her social media channels and hosts the Mac & Cheese sessions with virtual guests. On 5 June Glasgow promoters 432 Presents feature Slavin in their all-day livestream. Visit https://www.facebook.com/hannahslavinmusic for full details
