Our Take

Ella Hanshaw's latest offering, "Ella Hanshaw's Black Book", is a tantalising dive into a dark and twisted musical universe. The Australian singer-songwriter showcases her eclectic mix of genres, blending elements of pop, indie rock, and electronic music with a unique flair that sets her apart from the mainstream. From the opening track "Black Magic Woman" to the haunting ballad "Sleeping with the Enemy", Hanshaw's vocals effortlessly glide over a lush sonic landscape, leaving listeners spellbound. The production on this album is top-notch, with each song meticulously crafted to showcase Hanshaw's undeniable talent. One standout track is "Witching Hour", a funky, bass-heavy banger that will have you grooving from start to finish. The infectious chorus will be stuck in your head for days, and you'll find yourself hitting repeat over and over again. Hanshaw's lyrics are equally captivating, delving into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with a raw and vulnerable honesty. Her storytelling abilities are on full display here, as she weaves intricate narratives that draw you in and leave you wanting more. Overall, "Ella Hanshaw's Black Book" is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something fresh and exciting. Hanshaw's bold artistic vision shines through on every track, solidifying her status as a rising star in the music industry. Don't sleep on this album – it's a true gem in a sea of mediocrity. Dismiss at your peril.
