Hana Eid wants to write songs that feel like “the love letters you’re too afraid to send.” Combining confessional lyricism with raw vocal performances and earworm melodies, her indie rock songs tell stories that feel like they’ve been pulled straight from the depths of listeners’ minds.

 

2024 was a transformative year for Eid, starting with the release of her debut EP, I Exist Because You Say So just days after her 21st birthday. The project was met with acclaim from outlets including Ones To Watch, Atwood Magazine, Bad Wreck, and Pleaser Magazine in addition to being placed in Spotify’s New Music Friday, Lorem, and Undercurrents playlists. The lead single, ‘Weird’ has accumulated 2.5 Million streams to date and continues to find new audiences. Following the EP release, Hana hit the road on her first national tours supporting Sombr, Shallow Alcove, Daniel Nunnelee, and Hotel Fiction, eventually ending the year playing Briston Maroney’s Paradise Festival in November.

 

Her upcoming debut album was written amidst this personal metamorphosis, chronicling her deepest thoughts about her identity and interpersonal relationships. In her own words, “A lot of this album is a greater commentary on myself and the human desire for security, whilst maintaining the need for excitement and change.” 

 

To produce the record, she tapped in Noah Weinman, aka folk-rock cult favorite Runnner (excluding “Bet”, prod. Josef Kuhn). Fresh off the success of co-producing Gigi Perez’s hit “Sailor Song”, Noah was the perfect fit to bring her vision of unfiltered emotion to life. The album combines elements of indie rock, folk, and shoegaze into a sonic palette that stands completely on its own.

 

She shares, “what I have found, particularly in the creation of this record, is that love is the most powerful and exotic force on earth. We learn and grow so much through connection. & then we scrap it & start again.”
