viral pop sensation Havanna Winter releases new single
“‘Death Wish’ is about love and how romance is unpredictable and a bit of a double-edged sword if you will,” says Havanna Winter. “Sometimes it’s a blessing and other times a lesson…but you never know in advance, and you have no choice but to gamble, even with your heart at stake, because if you don’t, you might miss out on the most incredible part of life and something true, real, and meaningful. The inspiration behind it came from one of my favorite movies: Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. I am so obsessed with the theme of the movie, with a mix of Shakespearean and the Roman Catholic, modern-fashion-pop-culture, being the most beautiful, yet most tragic love story of all times.”

But, I wanted to try (as best I could) to entirely pull from just one precise individual second.. a total blip. And fully expand on every flashing thought within it.
Oliver Hazard Releases New Single “Ballerina” Today
Oliver Hazard writes earnest and emotional music that you can’t help but sing along to. “This song, like so many, is simply about the loss of a relationship – but it’s more of an ode, stating it’s okay, it’s for the best, but it will never lose its value. The beginning only has a guitar riff. The overall creation of the song is a sum of the band’s parts, each member adding their own individual idea and experience to the track,” states Oliver Hazard about “Ballerina.”
