Brother and sister duo Defining Grace lead with sincere passion and power, for the Christian contemporary crossover singer and gospel anthem Hope Like Hannah. Lisa Michelle provides sublime vocals, to a softly rising soundscape and song, committed to Faith and possibility, with a huge anthemic chorus of unity at its peak.
Stylistically Hope Like Hannah leads with a nostalgic shaker-and-bass combination, and a keys and guitar aspect of funk softly guiding things with rhythm and energy. The verses are mellow, uncertain and reflective of personal pain, but as the vocal energy and passion evolve, so too does the subject matter.
Our protagonist moves from lostness to Faith through both the lyrics and changing vibe of the music, the optimism and celebration of the chorus proving perfectly delivered, as we follow this list of names and references, towards the ultimate and memorable resolve of Hope Like Hannah. The second verse offers the same intentional format, calling out with questions like “Is it just too late for me?”, but always we return to the positivity and power of an inspiring and hopeful chorus.
It’s a relatable journey, the unsureness, the fear, the regret, but it’s gifted a personal touch here, whilst maintaining that inclusivity. “This is all for your glory, it’s not for me to judge, but it’s still my story.”.
A huge production, a huge performance, and a huge crescendo – Hope Like Hannah is a modern Christian anthem, with a bold and beautiful arrangement of voices and instruments elevating its natural and sincere level of belief and wonder.
