about

Hannah Aldridge injects darkness into the vein of Americana with 'Dorero', new single from upcoming album.

Hannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama. A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. These two themes weave through Aldridge’s gifted storytelling, making for records that soothe like a lullaby and crack like a whip. For those raised in the Bible Belt, Aldridge’s music sounds like the voice of an old friend who understands. For those not in the know, her music is an initiation to the dark side of the South, Christian fundamentalism and the struggle to forge a future in a place haunted by its past.

Now the Nashville-based artist presents her new single 'Dorero', the first offering from her upcoming album 'Dream of America', which is set to be released in June 2023 through Swedish alternative indie label, Icons Creating Evil Art.

Daughter of Muscle Shoals legend Walt Aldridge, Hannah started her musical journey as a classically-trained pianist. It wasn’t until her early twenties that she first picked up a guitar and began using music as an outlet to grapple with her demons. With a voice equal parts gritty and melodic, the emerging artist took to the road, entertaining crowds in ten countries and three continents with her acclaimed debut album 'Razor Wire', superb follow-up 'Gold Rush' and 'Live in Black and White' -a beautifully captured live album recorded in London, England.

Aldridge has expanded her artistic vision with the ambitious, cinematic 'Dream of America'. A highly collaborative project, produced in three corners of the world with renowned Melbourne based artist/producer Lachlan Bryan, producer/engineer Damian Cafarella and Swedish mix engineer Frans Hägglund, the record peers through the lens of fading Hollywood starlets, charming psychopaths and weary vagabonds -navigating society’s underbelly through dark, romantic vignettes. Hannah’s haunting vocals, assisted by her father’s expert vocal production, deliver a cathartic message of defiance.

Hannah Aldridge’s fierce Southern energy reaches through every speaker, whether it’s in a dashboard doing 80 down I-65, a rock club in Amsterdam or a Honky Tonk in her adopted hometown of Nashville. The new album treads a fine line between the genial charm of Americana, and the raw, hypnotic and occasionally electronic stylings of what some might like to call ‘noir indie pop’. It is music for those looking to confront their demons without remaining tethered to them.

Deploying a charming blend of power and vulnerability, Aldridge delivers her stories with all the conviction of a church bell ringing out through the streets of a small Alabama town.

'Dorero' will be released on all major platforms on March 3, 2023 via Icons Creating Evil Art.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I take back everything I said Dorero
I don’t believe a word I read about you.
Well, I stumbled in to find
That you’re not guilty of any crime
Dorero,
I’ve made up my mind about you
You’re the one they always called
Dorero
But if there is a God
I’ve seen Her in you
‘Cause you never crossed that line
You never wavered at any time
Dorero,
I’ve made up my mind about you

‘Cause I was a lonely girl
And you were the kind of woman
That I didn’t know
I needed at the time
I woke up to find Dorero
Watching over me
She was everything
They said I’d never find

Now I was not so haunted then Dorero
But they believed I always had it in me
And the vultures at my door
They don’t scare me anymore
Dorero,
I’ve made up my mind about you

‘Cause I was a lonely girl
And you were the kind of woman
That I didn’t know
I needed at the time
I woke up to find Dorero
Watching over me
She was everything
They said I left behind

Oh, I was just a child
When the nightmare pulled me in
No, it’s so surreal to me now

I take back everything I said Dorero
I don’t believe a word
I read about you
