Johannesburg, Monday, 11 March 2024 – In a bold act of reclaiming her power, gender-defying lyricist, Hanna, pens an open letter to a past lover with affirmation of healing and self-respect in the face of heartache with her new single, “Pride”, ahead of her upcoming EP.

Doused in a fusion of pop sensibilities, “Pride” lays smooth R&B melodies over an amapiano-coded hip hop bounce featuring a flute and an old-school rap outro. This modern adaptation of blues sonics swings away from the typical nuance of heartbreak music and fuels an element of dance to the listening experience.
Lyrically, Hanna shares that “Pride” is “A relatable but petty open letter to past lovers that was inspired by a relationship gone wrong and lays bare the frustration of being taken for granted. It paints pride not as a taboo trait to be avoided but rather as a marker of self-respect and a protector against heartache and humiliation.” There comes a time to swallow one’s pride for the sake of keeping peace and a time to voice out discrepancies for the sake of your dignity; Hanna’s “Pride” reminds us to draw the line, even with our love interests.
