Liv Hanna Debuts New Track “lonely”
Liv Hanna kicked off the summer with the fiery track, “Back To Hell.” The songstress now returns to close out the fall with her new single, “lonely.” Similarly to “Back To Hell,” Liv Hanna puts her unique, distinctive twist on the Pop genre. “lonely” may best be viewed as an Alt-Pop/Dark Pop record, but the song is more eclectic in nature as it features synths, the ebb and flow of up-tempo and downtempo sounds, and has elements drawn from Electropop, Pop Rock, etc.
The subject matter of “lonely” may be gleaned from the title, but the song is actually deeper than the title suggests. The song is about the seemingly perfect life that is more so imperfect. “‘lonely’ takes you behind the scenes of someone’s life that people think is perfect.” Liv Hanna continues, “It highlights the club scene and life of a socialite who’s always out on the town, but actually feels immense loneliness.” “lonely” illustrates how many put up a facade, or use a party or an ostentatious lifestyle to hide their pain, fear, angst, etc.
The song cleverly uses the contrasting sounds to perfectly depict the story that Liv Hanna penned through the mix of flashy, wavy sounds and soft, somber tones. Renowned producer Jake Sonderman was enlisted by Liv Hanna to craft the infectious record. “lonely” really demonstrates the versatility that Liv Hanna possesses, and showcases her creative, introspective/extrospective songwriting and powerful, mellifluous vocals.
“lonely” may be a standalone single, but it is a prelude of what’s to come. Liv Hanna already has multiple releases scheduled to set off the new year. At only 20 years old, the rising sensation is just getting started. Press play and put “lonely” on repeat.

Katie Dauson has never taken the obvious route. Before becoming a rising star in the indie rock scene, she studied physics and astronomy, worked in advertising, and even had a hand in video game design. But it wasn’t until she stepped up to the mic at an open mic night—armed with nothing but her song “Virtual Sky” and a quietly burning passion—that her path to music came into sharp focus.
Fast-forward to today, and Dauson is releasing Pure Katie, a genre-defying rock album that showcases the full spectrum of her creativity. It’s a project that started out as a concept album but morphed into something far more alive and immediate. “The songs took on a life of their own,” she says. “Now we’ve got this rock and roll thing—with a few surprises.”
The album plays like a musical autobiography—personal, bold, and refreshingly unpredictable. “Go Penny Go” channels punky energy and vintage swagger, while “When Will I Wake Up” taps into something more vulnerable and reflective. The throughline? Dauson’s fearless approach to storytelling.
Pure Katie isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s the sound of an artist discovering herself in real time. And for someone whose journey has always followed the road less traveled, this album feels like a thrilling new chapter.
