There is a sweetness to the voice of singer Hannah Christianson. A tenderness in each whisping breath that dances elegantly over the delicate touch of each piano key. Her voice floats and dips in a calming and ethereal sort of way. It seems effortless, but its beauty is undeniable. She borders on the pop realm of the musical spectrum, but her music is infused with a genuine passion and heart that much of what is classified as “pop” these days lacks. There is feeling in her music and her voice. That much is very evident in listening to the new track from the Boston transplant.

There is a positivity to this particular song from Christianson, something that we all could use a little bit of in the current social climate. Of the track she states, “It’s about how at the core of who we are as humans, we’re all made up of the same thing: Atoms. “we all have human hearts, we’re born from mothers…” A message of unity and hope, it’s also been a song for me that has helped me deal with the challenges I feel from hearing about the injustices and violence around the world. My hope is that this song helps others the same way it’s helped me deal with and understand, at least a little bit, how to transcend borders and walls and recognize our common humanity.”

This is a reminder that there is beauty in the world in the wake of terrible things that transpire across the globe. That, if we wish to seek those things out, they do exist and sometimes we need that brief escape.
