NEW MUSIC COMING OUT
LILIAN HAK
about me
Lilian Hak is an independent producer, songwriter, composer and vocalist from The Netherlands. Her music travels through cinematic pop, jazz, indie, avant-garde electronica with a wide palette of instrumentation for the arrangements. It is rich, playful and powerful. All of the many different facets Lilian embodies come to life through her music for theatre, cinema and album recordings.
Hak composes by using a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments and resampling techniques. Her musical interests extend across a wide range of genres. She loves old movie soundtracks and is influenced by scenes from Bacall and Bogart film noir.
She played venues in Europe, at festivals and in theatres in Holland, accompanied with her band, string quartet and even an orchestra, and supported bands like M83, The Kills and Kashmir. Her music and performance drew the media’s attention and she was featured in several prime-time TV shows and radio stations in The Netherlands and did a live gig at radio WFMU – NY City.
Apart from four full- length albums and several singles including remixes she released, Lilian collaborated with other artists, such as Ozark Henry, Wouter Hamel, T.Raumschmiere, Matthew Herbert, Scanner, Pitto, iET and LHISPR.Aside from her own projects she composes music for TV commercials, documentaries, film or other media and works as a voice-over actor.
Last year she released her indie urban love song ‘City Is My Home‘. She co-produced it with Marien Dorleijn (Moss).
On March 8th she releases her new single ‘Under The Wire‘. It’s a soulful indie-pop track, written and produced by herself. Co-production with Paul Willemsen. The song explores the power of expressing your emotions and the willingness to be vulnerable. It delves into procrastination and taking action at the very last moment. Sometimes a conversation flows smoothly, and sometimes it stumbles. “I need a reset,” sings Lilian Hak. Her fifth album is due to be released later this year.
When I write music, it has a very visual place in my mind. It has a place full of characters, colours and landscape
