Carlie Hanson has never been one to shy away from raw emotion. With her latest EP, too late to cry, the Wisconsin-born singer-songwriter embraces personal evolution with open arms, crafting a collection of songs that dive deep into self-discovery, resilience, and artistic reinvention.
This 7-track project, her first under Fearless Records, marks a turning point for Hanson. After parting ways with her previous label, she took full creative control, writing and producing much of the EP herself. And it shows. From the ethereal synths of “how many hours?” to the gut-punching honesty of “covering faces,” the record is a testament to her growth, both musically and personally.

In a sea of mainstream pop, Hanson continues to carve her own path. too late to cry isn’t just another breakup record—it’s a declaration of independence. And with it, Carlie Hanson proves she’s just getting started.
