Female singer/songwriters have been round every corner over the last couple of years and save for the likes of Laura Marling and Imogen Heap, they all start sounding a bit samey.

 

It was refreshing, therefore, that Hattie Snooks' 'The Birds' bucks this trend and goes a little deeper beneath the surface. Intelligent use of strings give this song a melancholy but touching ambience and Hattie's voice is just about perfect for the subject matter. i.e not too sweet but deeper and more authentic sounding. Totally believable that this is sung from the heart.

 

A graduate of Brighton Institute of Modern Music, Hattie has become a Brighton firm favourite having played such prestigious venues as the Komedia and the Concorde II, as well as Brighton Live 2008 and 2009, The Great Escape and The Brunswick Square Festival. Hattie signed to Rann Records in 2008 and released her debut EP in July 2009.

Hattie Snooks' EP "Bon Appetit" is distributed digitally through Universal and Genepool and can be downloaded everywhere from iTunes to Amazon, Spotify, Play.com, 7 digital and more. The CD has be purchased online at www.rannrecords.co.uk
