HENRY HALL SHARES NEW SINGLE “DO I LOVE YOU?” | FORTHCOMING EP ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????ย OUT SEPTEMBER 30
INDEPENDENT
Henry Hall, known for his โsickly sweet voiceโ and โwacky imagery” shares his new single + visualizer, โDo I Love You?โ from his forthcoming EP Are You Kidding Me????? out September 30th. ย The single follows the EPโs first single โAm I In The Photo,โ which has been praised for being โpeppered with nostalgic pop beats and infused with tongue-in-cheek lyricism.โ ย Reminiscent of Father John Mistyโs witty lyricism and Dent Mayโs pop filled theatrics, Henry Hall, commands your attention with his crafty yet relatable songwriting.
Henry on โDo I Love You?โ – This is a tune about the inevitability of love, but with a slightly sardonic twist. Essentially the sentiment is that even with the world crumbling all around us, love can’t help but live on.. Unfortunately. Case in point — the opening lyric: “I couldn’t be more afraid of what lies ahead, but to my dismay, I fall in love with you more each day.” I got to work with the incredibly talented Olivia and Isabella Fitzgerald-Harewood on this video — their direction is unmatched and they really did a perfect job portraying the vintage aesthetic of this song. I also wanna shout out Cam Johnson who drums on the entire ‘Are You Kidding Me?????’ EP, but gives a particularly inspired and original performance in this tune. Hire him for the best drumming you’ll ever have on your songs!
Wouldnโt it be great if an artist’s music could hold your hand through an anxiety
attack and then help you laugh it all off once it’s over? Well, thatโs what Los Angeles- based artist Henry Hallโs music does. It is one-of-a-kind alternative pop. Featuring his captivating falsetto paired with his witty, idiosyncratic lyrics, Hall’s music is self-deprecating and soulful, as if The Smiths met Prince. Underneath Hall’s tongue-in-cheek language and moving melodies are alluring guitar and synthesizer textures, which compliment his infectious vocal harmonies in a way that evokes Grizzly Bear and Jeff Tweedy.
After graduating from Wesleyan University in 2014, Hall moved to New York City to play live shows and craft My Friends Donโt Like Me, his 2016 EP release. The project garnered attention online and eventually landed a placement on the Judd Apatow-produced Netflix series, Love. His subsequent single, โTalk,โ broke 1 million streams on Spotify in 2018 and soundtracked a Casey Neistat YouTube video that has over 10 million views. His next 2019 EP, Questions, Comments, Concerns, has a song featured on the final season of HBO’s Veep. โHenry’s new EP, titled Questions, Comments, Concerns, is an aural explanation of his anxiety and its contradictions,โ says Paper Magazine in their feature on the aforementioned EP. โIt is an event that you, for once, do not want to miss.โ Hallโs 2020 debut full-length album, Neato, is movingly melancholic and anxious like our current reality, yet still hilariously ironic and impressive musically in Hall’s signature style. It is the best demonstration of his disturbingly witty and captivating brand of indie rock to date. Its release garnered impressive playlist placement on Apple Music including the New Music Daily playlist and a feature on the Alternative Genre homepage. And, in January 2020, Hall caught a huge break โ he made his television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Performing โAlive, Annoyed,โ the 10th track off of Neato, Hall showcased the crystallization of his unique vocal style and range, witty lyrics, and masterful guitar playing.
Hallโs upcoming EP Are You Kidding Me????? is the best crystallization of his one-of-a- kind alternative pop style yet. The EP is funny, catchy, rocking, and soulful all at once. Each songโs title and story is framed as a question, giving the listener insight into Hallโs somewhat-neurotic uncertainty, which is nothing if not highly relatable. Look for Hall on the road in late 2022 and for more new music to come very soon.
