Hannah Wicklund – releases funky new single ‘Red Gorilla’

Highly acclaimed South Carolina singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Hannah Wicklund has released her brand new single ‘Red Gorilla’. It is the latest song to be taken from her forthcoming album War On Women; Calling All Good Men, out August 28th via Strawberry Moon Records.
 
‘Red Gorilla’ is a funky blues rock track featuring a deft display of Hannah’s masterful guitar playing, rich in wah and scorching solos, while her commanding and wide-reaching vocals are delivered in homage to Harambe the Gorilla, following his controversial death at Cincinnati Zoo.
 
Here the story plays as a reflection of our disconnection to the delicate ecosystem of the planet and the missteps of humankind. The video sees Hannah delivering a fiery performance of the track backed by her own powerful painting of Harambe.
 
Regarding the single Hannah says, “Red Gorilla was written ten years ago, the day the Harambe the Gorilla was shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo. It still to this day is a dark stain on American and Human history.
 
In this song, my aim is to remind the listener that the warning lights have been flashing for a long time, and that money and greed will not save us from our fate if we do not work to heal this earth and the societies that have destroyed it. Human beings are but a small piece of a far greater ecosystem, and we must radically choose to care for our environment, or we will be even more lost as a species than we are right now.”
