Introducing Hanr, a talented British singer-songwriter with a rich musical upbringing that stretches from her early collaborations with legendary vocalists to touring across Europe with the Capital Arts Children’s Choir. Hailing from Barnet, North London, Hanr—whose full name is Hannah Tenent—has seamlessly fused her classical training with the vibrant sounds of modern Afro-pop, and her latest single, “One Time,” is a testament to her growing artistic prowess.
From the moment the track opens, Hanr’s vocals grab your attention. There’s a smoothness to her delivery that feels both confident and intimate, perfectly balancing the laid-back groove of the song with a refreshing sense of energy. Her voice carries an effortless command, especially during the chorus, where layered harmonies create a dynamic texture that elevates the track’s infectious melody. The subtle vocal nuances give the impression that Hanr is leading and joining the song, adding an organic flow that’s hard to ignore.
On the production side, “One Time” thrives with its crisp, clear mix that ensures every musical element shines. The percussion is the driving force here, with Afrobeat rhythms that give the song its pulse and keep the energy flowing throughout. The bassline offers a smooth, deep groove that anchors the track while allowing the shimmering synths to add warmth. What stands out, though, are the subtle guitar licks weaving in and out of the track’s landscape; just enough to add texture without overtaking the otherwise perfect blend of instrumental layers.
“One Time” is a track that shows Hanr’s evolution as an artist. It perfectly blends her strong vocal presence with a masterful, smooth production that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It’s a glimpse into what promises to be an exciting musical journey for this young UK-based talent.
