I fell in love with Hattie Oates’ music when she released her debut single “She’s All Yours” in early 2019. She was just 15 then, but I saw something so special in her. Now 17, with a little more life experience behind her, I think she’s sounding even better. Her latest track “Used To Be” is a brilliant track that’s sure to resonate with fans of Amy Shark and G-Flip. This is approachable, honest pop music with a fresh sound that begs for repeat listens. While it sounds cutting-edge, Hattie took inspiration from the past.
“In a nutshell, this song is about nostalgia. Whether it’s a person, place or time, it’s a memory that is forever repeating itself in your mind, and one you just wish you could go back to,” Hattie said. “Honestly, it is probably one of the most personal songs I have released yet. Every time I sing it, I’m hit with a highlight reel of the one of the best summers of my life, hence why I want to go back to how it ‘used to be’. But even so, while the core message is a little sad, performing it is liberating.”
While she hasn’t got any upcoming gigs, give her Facebook page a follow so you can be first to know when she’s hitting a venue near you.
