Finding a song that manages to be simultaneously lighthearted and emotionally resonant is a rare feat, but hanna pulls it off effortlessly on her latest track, “like father, like son.” Built on a gentle pop foundation, the song wastes no time locking into a groove that is incredibly catchy and instantly toe-tapping. It is the kind of rhythm that sneaks up on you, compelling you to move while you find yourself completely absorbed by the narrative unfolding in the lyrics. What makes the track truly stand out is how seamlessly it crosses genres, blending modern pop sensibilities with a distinct roots-infused charm. Central to this sonic identity is a fantastic electric guitar lick that weaves its way throughout the entire song, adding a sharp, vibrant texture that anchors the production.
Hovering above this infectious arrangement is Hanna’s stellar vocal performance. While the track has a smooth pop accessibility, she introduces a beautiful country twang to her voice that shines brightest whenever she pushes into her upper register. It adds a layer of authentic grit and soulfulness to the track, perfectly matching the dual nature of the songwriting. The track manages to be remarkably deep, tackling themes of lineage and reflection, yet it never loses its sense of fun or becomes weighed down by its own weight. Hanna has crafted a multi-layered listening experience that feels right at home on a driving playlist just as much as it does during a quiet, reflective moment, proving her skill at making thoughtful music that is an absolute blast to listen to.
