Cork’s very own rising star, HANNAHBELLA, has just dropped her much-anticipated debut EP, Parasite. It’s a fearless plunge into the tangled web of human emotions, blending glitchy hyper-pop, techno beats, and alt-rock vibes. Quite the mix, right?
Partnering with producer Jessica Richardson (aka WhenTheBeatIsBad), Parasite delivers an intense yet playful soundscape. HANNAHBELLA describes it as a journey through the darker sides of human experience—think depression, anxiety, grief, and love. “I wanted to create something beautifully chaotic, mirroring the internal struggle of finding peace within the mess,” she explains. Despite the heavy themes, there’s a silver lining of strength and hope woven throughout.
Since her 2021 debut, HANNAHBELLA has carved out a niche with her genre-defying originality and captivating live shows. With Parasite, she takes it up a notch, crafting a cathartic space for listeners to dive into their emotions and find solace amidst the chaos.
