The song is Everywhere and, well, you can read the press release to glean more details:

Hanna Ashcroft, is an Auckland based songwriter known for her soulful voice and blues toned cadence. In her new release “Everywhere“, she unveils themes of passion, pain, love and loss. Hanna’s songs are emotionally revealing in both strength and fragility.  Influenced by names like Otis Redding, Joyra Smith and Charlotte Cardin, it has an ethereal, dark and atmospheric feel with a ghostly hip hop undertone.

“Everywhere initially began as a song of deep sadness, loss and longing, but turned into a song of hope and letting go…I was in the thick of the early stages of a break up and it honestly felt like I saw him everywhere…4 months later I flew to Bali where I ended up recording and as we began I realised I didn’t see him everywhere any more. It was quite a beautiful and expansive moment” says Hanna.

Travelling to Bali to record the single spending 6 weeks with producer, Andreas Arianto. Hanna found the experience emotional and vulnerable but at the same time healing and comforting. “The recording process was an emotional rollercoaster. I guess because I was sort of healing through the experience while creating it…I wanted the song to sound ghostly, atmospheric, dark and sparse but with a strong hip hop inspired beat to give the track strength. I felt this combination would communicate the feeling I felt.” Hanna explains.
