Describing her music as a twist of pop, soul, electronic and jazz, Hannon released the Like It Is EP last year, which includes production work by Cian Sweeney of 1000 Beasts. Earlier this year, she dropped her soulful single 'Work It Out' - and showed off her incredible vocal abilities during her Hot Press Y&E Series set.

"We've gotta make it through this heavy cloud, 'cause when the sun shines, it's gunna turn our whole world round," she sings on the track, which was accompanied by a music video that truly captures the summer spirit and which Hannon directed together with Tim Shearwood and Barry Kavanagh.

''Work It Out' is about being in a relationship and knowing you have underlying issues to sort out, but delaying them to enjoy the present moment instead," the vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer explained. "With all of my tracks, I try to add my personal viewpoint on universal situations. The lyrics for ‘Work It Out’ came naturally as procrastination seems to feed into my day to day life, as well as my relationships."

Hannon recently supported American pop rock trio Haim at their performance at The Trinity Summer Series at Trinity College in June. She has also played an array of festivals over the summer, including Sea Sessions, Kaleidoscope and Indiependence last weekend and is set to headline at The Grand Social on October 1 (presented by MCD).
