Hanna is a fast-rising African lyricist, rapper, singer, and songwriter whose Zimbabwean and Ethiopian heritage continues to shape her distinctive artistic identity. Moving effortlessly between rap, R&B, pop, and Afrobeats, she has emerged as one of Southern Africa's exciting contemporary voices. On her latest single, “Energy,” Hanna reflects on the lessons that come with experience, disappointment, and learning
to protect her peace.
The song opens with a simple realisation that becomes its guiding idea: energy never lies. Hanna looks back on relationships where she gave more of herself than she received, questioning why genuine effort and sincerity are not always returned in equal measure. She makes it clear that she never expected perfection from the people around her, only honesty, consistency, and something real.
As the record unfolds, vulnerability gives way to self-assurance. Hanna recognises that criticism and negativity often come with ambition, but refuses to allow other people's perceptions to define her. Her confidence is rooted not in pretending that everything has been easy, but in understanding how much she has learned along the way.
Driven by introspective songwriting and a memorable chorus, “Energy” explores the contrast between what people say and what they actually bring into your life. Hanna encourages listeners to pay attention to actions, trust their instincts, and recognise when a relationship or environment is draining more than it gives.
“Energy” is a reminder that growth often comes from recognising who and what deserves access to your energy.
"Energy" is now available on all streaming platforms via ONErpm.
