Hanakiv is an Estonian-born, London-based sound artist and pianist. Her debut album 'Goodbyes' will be released on Gondwana Records on March 10th, 2023.
Her debut single, ‘No Words Left’, is a contemplative and ethereal journey written in collaboration with Alabaster DePlume. The follow up single ‘Goodbye', a prepared piano masterpiece and the opener to her elevating debut album.
Hanakiv brings together elements of Estonian classical, electronic and ambient music, composing from a place of introspection and reflection. On ‘No Words Left’, - Alabaster DePlume provides a one-take improvisation of gliding saxophone over Hanakiv’s beguiling scaling piano melodies. Echoes of Kara-Lis Coverdale, Hania Rani and Arvo Pärt leave the listener in a contemplative and meditative state.
“This is an album about healing. It is about saying your goodbyes to everything that doesn’t serve you anymore. Each of these songs has a little goodbye in it. So, these are very beautiful and necessary goodbyes”.
