Listen Up, Buttercup

If Amy Winehouse and Rhianna had a baby, she would sound like Hanna Fentriss.  This emerging singer, songwriter, musician just released her first three song EP. All three tracks were written by Malex, a four-time platinum Grammy Award winning producer who has worked with Eminem, Common, Gladys Knight and Reakwon to name a few. Puma selected her as the winner of an artist search for 2018 and will feature one of her songs in a television commercial later this year! This girl is definitely one to watch, or should I say, listen to! Check out her sound at Hannahotline.com
