Surrey-born Hannah Dorman has built an impressive musical career blending pop, rock, and acoustic elements with authentic emotional resonance. Her ACM education (which counts Ed Sheeran and Newton Faulkner as fellow alumni) provided a technical foundation for her naturally expressive style. Dorman’s musical influences – from Alanis Morissette’s raw honesty to Dua Lipa’s contemporary pop sensibilities – inform her sound without defining it. Her EP “222” showcases this synthesis, particularly through the standout track “Gasoline,” which earned both chart recognition and inclusion on Universal’s Acoustic Hits compilation. Her performance experience spans diverse venues – from intimate settings like The Troubadour to festival stages at Guilfest and RedFest – demonstrating versatility and genuine stage presence that connects with varied audiences.
Hannah Dorman’s “You” really masters that delicate balance between emotional weight and danceable energy. The way she’s layered those melancholic synths against the more upbeat beats and electric guitar creates this compelling emotional tension – it’s like dancing through your feelings, which is exactly what great electro-pop should do.

Her vocal performance is particularly striking – she delivers those hard-hitting lyrics about toxic relationships with both power and vulnerability. That line “Caught in your lines because we were intertwined, Now I see that I was just your shadow” hits especially hard, showing her songwriting skills in capturing complex emotional realizations in such a concise way.

The production choices are really smart – that dynamic shift between the slowdown and pick-up moments creates natural emotional peaks and valleys. When everything comes together in the chorus, it’s that perfect pop moment where production, vocals, and emotional content all align for maximum impact.
It’s exactly the kind of song that works both as a cathartic blast-at-full-volume track and as a deeper exploration of relationship dynamics.
