Happy April! It’s officially that time of year – Easter and Coachella season…
This month we check out a British singer-songwriter making waves on the charts, visiting our (across-the-ditch) neighbour for a getaway, Pretty Little Liars are back and a Love Island fave’s new venture.
Music: Hannah Jane Lewis
British-born beauty Hannah Jane Lewis is a singer-songwriter based in London. She studied music at NYU and started releasing her own music soon after. I actually discovered Hannah’s music last year when I heard a song playing in a store I was in and I liked it so much I had to Shazam it – I found out it was Hannah’s track Raincheck. 2018 was a pretty big year for Hannah with 4 million streams on Spotify alone so I’m excited to see what 2019 holds (hopefully new music!)
Travel: Melbourne
The city of art and fashion is just a couple of hours flying time from NZ and there is always so much on offer that you’ll be stretched for time in your week/weekend getaway. The International Comedy Festival is currently in town with art museums, markets, restaurants and shopping destinations galore and I’m looking forward to visiting my bestie who has recently moved there to explore it all for myself!
