about

London-based singer-songwriter Hoian (pronounced ‘hoy-an’) is back with her enchanting new single, ‘Untitled (Too Soon)’ released on the 20th July.

‘Untitled (Too Soon)’ is an emotional song about suffering a miscarriage during early pregnancy. Its dreamy, atmospheric sound draws on influences from the likes of Beach House, Deftones, Bjork and Radiohead.

The track was entirely written and produced at home by Hoian, mixed by Cristian Perugino and mastered by Andy Baldwin (Blur, Interpol, Ben Howard ) at the legendary Metropolis Studios.

lyrics

Verse

Who are you baby ?
Little life taking shape
you helped me realise my daydreams
Look here I am making plans

Chorus

Do you know how hard it was
to hide you away?
Do you know how hard it was?
Too soon to name

Verse

Where are you baby?
Crimson rivers washed away, away
Won’t you stay?
Unfinished life and limbs
And a space where you should have been
Should have

Chorus

Do you know how hard it was
to hide you away?
Do you know how hard it was?
Too soon to name

Interlude
Ooh

Chorus
Do you know how hard it was
to hide you away?
Do you know how hard it was?
Too soon to name
