May 2023 UPDATE...
We've been bunkered-down in the studio since 2019 in an attempt to get our music heard by more folk across the globe. It seems to be working!
Our latest (35th!) cover (released Friday 12 May 2023) is a soft reworking of the Dolly Parton & Kenny Rodgers smash hit duet 'Islands In The Stream'…our second collaboration with Swedish duo Kaiak. It seemed a timely moment to release another duet on seeing our first (‘I Knew You Were Waiting For Me’) cover pass 1 million streams on Spotify!
In recent news, our covers of Maroon 5's ‘Sugar’, Ronan Keating's ‘Life Is A Rollercoaster’ and James Morrison's ‘You Give Me Something’ were all featured in the Winter season (Series 9) of Love Island (ITV2, UK). These were not our first placements - 'I Want To Know What Love Is' was featured in last year's Summer Season (Series 8). These songs have subsequently entered the top 100 of both the iTunes Chart and Shazam Chart ('Life Is A Rollercoaster' peaking at #59) and have been placed on over 2500 Spotify playlists including their official 'Love Island' playlist!
We've now achieved over 22.1 million global streams of our music across Spotify alone including over 2.8 million streams of our cover of Foreigner's ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ and 1.6 million of Randy Newman's ‘Feels Like Home’...alongside 1.4 million streams of our original song 'You Worked It Out'.
Also in the news...over the past year or two, we've seen our acoustic cover of Take That's 'Back For Good' be sync'd to the end-credits of an episode of Hollyoaks (Channel 4) and Loose Women's Stacey Solomon use our cover of Randy Newman's classic 'Feels Like Home' on numerous Instagram posts about her family at home - thank you Stacey! We have also been featured in Spotify's 'Viral Top 50' in both France and the Netherlands...and our version of 'O Christmas Tree' was playlisted on Spotify's global 'Christmas Coffeehouse' playlist for 2022.
Many more recordings are in preparation for release across 2023 and Hannah reports: "It's so nice to be bringing a fresh Hannah's Yard spin to the work of some of the great songwriters and recording artists!"
