“Hattie Whitehead is one of the greatest singers I have ever heard.”

Jazzwise

 

“Hattie Whitehead has rich, honeyed vocals as well as a talent for writing enthralling melodies and soul-baring honest lyrics.”
The Telegraph

 

“The rising singer-songwriter’s songs are deeply melodic, building soulful, lilting vocals, subtle harmonies, swelling guitars and warm atmospherics.”

‘Hattie's got the sort of talent that means in a couple of years time we'll all be boasting about being here tonight' 

For Folk's Sake

​

Hattie Whitehead does not pull her punches. Raised on folk and jazz greats of the sixties and seventies, her smart lyrics and powerful, outspoken voice blend folk sensibilities with a modern sound shaped by her discovery of contemporary genres.

​

Hattie's live career has seen her selected as one of Glastonbury's Emerging Artists along with a raft of festival appearances including Latitude, Wilderness, Field Day and Cambridge Folk Festival as well as garnering coverage from national press, including the iNewspaper, the Telegraph and gaining radio support from the likes of BBC 6 Music's Craig Charles and that of legendary tastemaker BBC Radio 2’s Whispering Bob Harris. In recent years Hattie's music has garnered attention in the sync world having worked with the likes of with Guy Garvey on several tracks for the hit Apple TV series 'Trying' and achieving placements in Swedish TV series 'Alska Mig'', to mention just a couple of highlights.

 

Following her meeting and collaboration with producer John Reynolds (Sinead O’Connor), now comes Hattie's debut album Bloom. This record takes Hattie's unflinching honesty in songwriting and delves into existential themes of empowerment, family, womanhood and relationships with a tone of re-growth and optimism, following a long journey through the grieving process. 

 

Bloom is an album that follows a period of great personal pain but is ultimately a tale of personal growth, acceptance and empathy. In the same way The Anchoress The Art of Losing and Bernard Butler’s Good Grief were so vital in offering listeners an insight into the darker recesses of grief, Hattie's debut is equally needed to show there is light and life at the end and to ultimately always be kind to yourself as a way out of the darkness.
