Irish singer-songwriter and recording artist Hallie has released her new single ‘Impact’. Hallie emerged in May 2020 with her debut single ‘Familiar Place’. Since then she has released three more singles to critical acclaim, with rotation on multiple national/worldwide radio stations. Hallie has made the ‘RTE Recommends Playlist’ with all her singles to date. Hallie is an avid mental health and chronic pain advocate living with chronic illnesses. She wants to use her platform to advocate and remind others who’ve struggled that they’re never alone. She began writing poems and songs as a personal release to soothe and channel her lifelong battle with depression, anxiety and chronic pain. Hallie won the first Golden Discs Golden Busker Competition ’19 & Best Original Song in the Guinness Singing & Swinging Awards. With her Golden Disc’s prize she recorded her music professionally for the first time at The Orchard Recording Studio.

‘Impact’ is a fine display of Hallie’s emotive musicianship. The song reflects on “a past turbulent relationship, with a plea for understanding and acceptance, following a breakup without closure and wounds that never seem to heal.” Hallie expresses this perfectly as she strips back her alternative pop sound to create a raw, earnest tune that highlights the warm depth of her vocals as well as the pain and emotion within the song perfectly “you hurt me like a stranger. I took beatings from your words”. The spacious soundscape, delicate piano accompaniment and emotional sting within the lyrical content make ‘Impact’ a compelling listen from start to finish. Looking forward to hearing more from this exciting artist.
