GET TO KNOW ALL ABOUT RISING UK COUNTRY POP ARTIST RIA HANLEY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF HER STELLAR SECOND SINGLE ‘BITE BACK’
With just two releases to her name, emerging UK artist Ria Hanley is already well on her way to establishing herself as a country pop artist to keep an eye on, bringing a modern edge to her sound that feels both vibrant and packed full of personality and charm.
Following on from her CLOUT-lauded debut single ‘Hell For Leather’, the artist has released ‘Bite Back’, a fiesty and carefree release about being exactly that. From the artist’s effortlessly liberating vocal performance to the driving rhythms that keep the track feeling exciting and raw, this is a great track to showcase the guile and potential of Ria and her sound. We’ve loved both of these releases, and had a chat with Ria to find out some more about her trademark sound and what else she has planned for the near future.
