Auckland based songwriter Hanna Ashcroft emerged earlier this year with her debut solo single “Everywhere”, drawing on soft R&B beats Hanna is giving us the second taste of her forthcoming EP with “Down” which is out now. Not one to be kept down, it’s a breakup song but with a message of strength and resilience at its core.
With delicate production by Andreas Arianto, the EP flaunts Hanna’s impressive vocal skills among a backdrop of breakups, travel, fragility and strength while drawing influence from the likes of Otis Redding, Joyra Smith and Charlotte Cardin.
Recorded during 6 weeks in Bali with Arianto, Hanna found it to be a vulnerable experience at first but wholly healing and comforting as she explains, “I wrote Down while I was in Bali reminiscing about a past relationship. At the time I was reading a book about the witch hunts too and it made me think about how women have been pushed down over the years in so many ways. The leading line “You tried to tame me, take the wild from my heart” really lends itself to that feeling of being pushed down and tamed which I know I have felt before. My Great Grandfather used to say to my Grandmother, “you can’t keep a good girl down”. And so the song touches on ways one could be pushed down whilst also expressing the strength that women have shown over the years and that we will always get back up after a fall.”
“Down” is out now

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
