We’ve had our eyes on this dream pop duo from day one, so it goes without saying that “I’m Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me” deserved our special attention. NBHAP editor Andreas met up with the Craig Whittle and Hannah Merrick ahead of the debut LP release and got down to the inner workings of the record for you to read right here.
The Iranian singer Faravaz will release her debut, "Azadi" (meaning "Freedom" in Farsi), on May 11th. The record recounts the story of her life in exile in Germany because the Iranian government sentenced her to one year in prison for the act of singing as a woman. Choosing to not return to her homeland, Faravaz fights for women’s rights from abroad. Her music is driven by the yearning and fight for liberation from patriarchal oppression.
