Pop Perfection: Hannah Johnson's 'Mine' Strikes Gold In a landscape brimming with bubblegum beats and fleeting digital trends, Hannah Johnson plants her flag firmly in the lush terrain of synth-rich nostalgia with her second single, "Mine." Released on the breezy Ides of March 2024, this track isn't merely a jaunt down memory lane—it's a confident step into the future for this independent American singer-songwriter. https://open.spotify.com/track/6P2DWpk8FjZoE3h0mvrEG6?si=58d5c22af07d41fa From the first electrifying bars of "Mine," those bold electric guitars strike like lightning against a midnight sky – unmistakably ‘80s rock but freshened up with contemporary pop zest. Johnson's voice folds seamlessly into layers upon layers of pulsating rhythm provided by drums that would make any New Wave ancestor nod in silent approval. Building on the promise glimpsed in her debut single "Slow Motion," Hannah's latest outing is teetering between homage and innovation. It reminds us why we fell hard for pop hooks back when teased hair dominated MTV screens—there's something deliciously irreverent yet vulnerably earnest about marrying past and present so freely. Her lyrical tapestry speaks volumes of versatility; each verse crafts an intricate portrayal of undying passion not just for love but for chasing dreams reminiscent of youthful ambition—a rarity among many paint-by-numbers chart-toppers today. Listening feels like rooting through your parents' vinyl collection and finding an anthem you didn’t know belonged to you until now—an anthem all about asserting one’s identity amidst life’s orchestrated chaos. https://youtu.be/mRcQ8q1YSoM What really cements "Mine" as a sophomore success story, though, isn't solely its throbbing heart or even its throwback flair—it’s how effortlessly Hannah assumes control over every inch of sonic space she occupies. Hers is not merely talent but mission; unfurling before us is an artist steadfastly rising above industry standards to sculpt hits that resonate intuitively across generations who adore music unabashedly. To encapsulate 'Mine' briefly: think Pat Benatar’s guts meets Taylor Swift's diaristic intimacy—all dressed up in Cyndi Lauper-esque vibrancy. This indie phoenix rises anew from erstwhile ashes; let there be no doubt—Hannah Johnson isn’t borrowing this moment from anyone else's playbook - it is squarely and distinctively hers. And if “Mine” signals what lies ahead? Then consider us ravenous for more sonic landscapes painted by Ms. Johnson's hand—a name shaping up to stay woven within our playlists well beyond seasonal rotations.

I’ve created this work as a self portrait without the body so I could get in touch with something more personal than just my outward appearance. I feel that this has pushed me to create art on a deeper level and helps me further develop how I view my past. I spent most of my life moving from one home to the next and ever since I came to college people continue to ask me where I’m from. Having had so many hometowns, the answer never feels genuine. I soon noticed that, because of my gypsy tendencies, I don't have one specific place to call home. The only thing that stayed consistent within every house was me. To represent this, I’ve created a quilt to represent “the home within myself”. I hope everyone who comes across my piece will feel a sense of home and belonging. I invite everyone to feel the quilt with their own two hands. I want them to be able to observe my artwork on the most personal level. Each logo in the blanket is from another place where I had a different bed, house, and a different set of friends. I think it shows a accurate visual of the struggle of these changes, having nine t-shirts for eighteen years. In my piece, I sewed, hand stitched, and embroidered the different parts of the blanket for a variety of looks. I especially liked the feel of the stuffed components of the quilt where pieces come up off the material, making it more interactive and three dimensional. When making this artwork, I was inspired by Ken Price especially for the linework incorporated and the conceptual thought that goes into their quilting. I believe that, with practice, I can create a quilt just as beautiful and advanced as his piece “Untitled #2”.

My other would be the men and woman who frown at something a bit out of the ordinary. The others are the ones who judge you from the moment they meet you and never give you another chance. Sometimes they'll laugh when you walk a little funny or smile a little too big. They will follow every rule even when the rules were meant to be broken.
