Rising alt-pop singer-songwriter Martha Hill is poised to announce her debut EP with the arrival of Be Still this September and will pre-empt its release with a brand new track ‘Pick Me Up’, once again portraying Hill’s charm and elegant fragility.
About the EP, she says: “I wanted my debut EP to be a self-portrait; something to introduce me and my music, and I feel like “Be Still” does just that. It’s all about navigating who I am as an individual and also in relation to the world around me- all the different people, relationships, situations, mental states. It’s all about being in your early 20s and just trying to suss it all out. It’s also an exploration musically- I like to touch on lots of different genres, the only common thread really being my voice and my story. In-keeping with the theme of exploration, each track more or less was written and recorded at completely different times with different people, giving it a laid back and journey like quality.”
An evocative journey hand-in-hand with faithful instrumentation, accompanied by a seductive and seemingly effortless delivery, ‘Be Still’ draws on a myriad of influences from pop, indie, folk and soul, marking a new chapter and makes for an impressive introduction to a wonderful new artist.
