Cork experimental electronic-pop up and comer HANNAHBELLA announces the upcoming new EP ”Parasite” +shares first single ‘Dainty Fae’

Cork experimental electronic-pop up and comer HANNAHBELLA announces the upcoming new EP Parasite and shares the vibrant, multifaceted first single ‘Dainty Fae’.

Showcasing the genre-bending originality which has seen her acclaimed across press, radio and editorial playlists alike, the solo artist has built a glowing reputation for her striking and vibrant blend of glitchy hyper-pop, techno elements, and alt-rock. 

Speaking about the track HANNAHBELLA shares:

“Dainty Fae tells the story of a fae who, abandoned and consumed by loneliness, finds herself seething in self-pity.
It’s a haunting exploration of isolation, yet wrapped in an unexpected, playful sonic package.

The song began with a beat by Joe Keniry, which I then built upon before bringing it to my band. It quickly became a crowd favorite during live shows, evolving into something far more expansive as we added layers and depth with the talents of the musicians around me!

Sonically, I wanted to create a sharp contrast between the raw emotion of the lyrics and the upbeat, funky pop elements of the track. Honestly, I was initially intimidated by the fun and lighthearted vibe, but I fully leaned into it, and the recording process ended up being such a joy!

We brought “Dainty Fae” to life at Wavefield Recordings in West Cork with Brian Casey, who truly understood the essence of this record and helped craft the magical, vibrant world for this fae to inhabit. The result is a song that balances whimsy and darkness, capturing the emotional complexity of feeling abandoned in a playful yet poignant way.”
