Hannah Wicklund – “Witness”

Hannah Wicklund – “Witness”

On Hannah Wicklund’s album The Prize, soaring melodies sail above shout-along choruses. Produced by and featuring Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet on bass, keys and organ, and accom- panied by Daniel Wagner of Greta Van Fleet on drums, The Prize is a beautiful representation of what raw feminine power and determination look, feel, and sound like. This album was so radically healing for me, and I hope it can inspire and perhaps play a role in someone else’s story” says Wicklund. “I want us all to remember, it can be lonely and is never easy ‘doing the work’, but we are each worthy of our own love, time, and dedication.” So, we have The Prize: A deeply mature, fully realized vision of an artist who has truly found her stride.
