[4] Further reviews mention “Brine's voice is distinguished by its clarity, warmth and an inviting, rounded tone that draws the listener in” [5] and “Hannah’s honey toned voice caresses the melodies imbuing the words with a lightness of touch” [6] . Hannah was interviewed about her forthcoming album & launch gigs by Robert Elms on BBC Radio London on June 20, and two tracks from the album, Cobwebs & Lace and the title track Blue Sky Now, were also played.
