Building on the momentum of their recent comeback single ‘Imaginary’, London soulful art-pop duo Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher – better known as HONNE – continue their exploration of “the rawest and most personal version of [themselves] to date” with the release of their second single of 2024, the intimate and lullaby-esque ‘Songs In My Head’.

“It’s all about writing songs in your sleep…and the strangest thing about this song is that it was actually written in my sleep,” vocalist/producer Andy explains on the track. “Ultimately it’s about wanting to tell someone you love them, but never finding the words, so you just keep writing them songs in your head – which seems to be the story of my life.”

‘Imaginary’ and ‘Songs In My Head’ signify an exciting new era for the duo as their first releases as an independent artist releasing via their new imprint on AWAL, Smile More Records. Embracing an artist-led ethos, HONNE have immersed themselves into every part of the process, both musically and visually.  From songwriting to production, mixing, and even playing every instrument on the tracks, the duo have poured their collective passion and expertise into their new music.

HONNE’s trajectory since they emerged in 2016 with their critically-acclaimed debut LP Warm on a Cold Night has been nothing short of extraordinary. They have performed over 200 sold-out shows worldwide, collaborated with everyone from BTS and Tom Misch to Griff, SG Lewis, Niki and Khalid, amassed over 3 billion global streams, and reached gold and platinum status in multiple countries around the world. HONNE’s distinctive brand of forward-pushing, yet deeply human, soul-laden alt-pop has resonated on a massive scale, captivating audiences at festivals across the globe including Coachella (US), Splendour In The Grass (Australia), Lollapalooza (US), Glastonbury (UK), Austin City Limits (US), Corona Capital (MX), Summer Sonic (JP), Seoul Jazz Festival (Headliner – RoK), and more. Currently on a headline tour in China, HONNE will be announcing further dates later this year.
