Hannah Lou Woods Shares New Single ‘Fallen From The Stars’
Hannah Lou Woods, an American songstress and ever-evolving artist with millions of streams under her belt (as the electronic artist We Saw Lions), is launching her new acoustic singer-songwriter music into the world. ‘Fallen from the Stars’, is the debut single from her upcoming EP, Meet Me at the Pine Tree, a collection of love songs slated for release on February 14, 2024.
Hannah Lou Woods weaves complex melodies with her distinct voice, accompanied by the piano, guitar, and ukulele. Red Line Roots describes her style as having “a tenderness in each whisping breath that dances elegantly over the delicate touch of each piano key. Her voice floats and dips in a calming and ethereal sort of way. It seems effortless, but its beauty is undeniable.” The end product is folksy-bluesy-pop that is genuine, heartfelt, and enhanced by the lyrical depth of personal experiences.
The emotional and heartfelt acoustic ballad ‘Fallen from the Stars’ blends elements of adult contemporary, acoustic pop, and singer-songwriter. She recorded the piano and vocals for this song at Ugly Duck Studios with Dave Chapman co-producing and engineering. Meanwhile, Trevor Jarvis plays the cello.
“‘Fallen from the Stars’ is about unraveling the layers of self-doubt and fear that prevent you from letting yourself be loved, it’s about the power of someone loving you for you and the challenge of believing that you’re worthy of that kind of love,” says Hannah Lou Woods.
The inspiration for the song came as she was falling in love with her husband over a decade ago. They fell in love amongst juniper trees and red rock mountains in Sedona, AZ, and after returning to Boston, she started writing the song as a way to process and overcome her self-doubt that real love was possible, despite the long distance between them at that time. “Love can be scary, it can rip you open and bring up vulnerable parts of yourself that might feel unworthy of love.”
After working on this song, she was more receptive to the notion that she may love someone for the rest of her life. For their first dance at their wedding, she thought it would be a great idea to record this song as a surprise for him. “The song helped me be open to the idea that I could actually possibly love someone for my whole life. That dance was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve experienced, to be surrounded by so much love all at once, from our friends and family, from Jeff, almost too much love for my heart to hold.”
Hannah Lou Woods gifted her upcoming EP, Meet Me at the Pine Tree, as a wedding gift of love songs to her husband, almost as one long love letter. ‘Fallen from the Stars’ is accompanied by a music video, which includes footage from her wedding, and was funded by a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council. “With this song and the EP, I’m inviting listeners and fans into an aspect of myself and my life that I usually keep fairly private, because it’s such a sacred thing to me. It feels like another level of vulnerability and authenticity that I’m sharing with the world. I wanted people to be able to hopefully feel a little of this love that I’ve experienced and let it touch their lives too. To help remind people of the beauty, that it’s here even amidst all the hard and terrible things in the world, to create a reminder that there is something beautiful here too and that we are all worthy of the kind of love that makes our hearts sing.”

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
