Philippa Hanna releases her awaited acoustic EP ‘Live From The Old Chapel’, the first release since her debut worship album in 2020. After the pandemic and becoming a mother, the UK singer-songwriter is gearing up to a new season of music starting by revisiting some of her most significant worship songs to date.

Philippa Hanna’s new project was recorded live at The Old Chapel Studios in England and features an eclectic musical backdrop of grand piano, double bass, mandolin, acoustic guitar, hammered dulcimer, and ambient drums which carry the singer’s voice beautifully.

“I’m really enjoying exploring the way instrumentation can elevate our expressions of worship,” Philippa says. The heart of ‘Live From The Old Chapel’ is a celebration of music; one of God’s greatest gifts to us. “Taking these songs to a different space creatively has been my way of giving thanks for them,” she concludes. Philippa Hanna keeps proving that she crafts songs that ooze with honesty, authenticity, and vocals that are as powerful as they are heartfelt.

Live From The Old Chapel – Philippa Hanna is available now.

Philippa Hanna releases the second single from her upcoming live acoustic EP, ‘Loved Me First’. The song first appeared on her 2020 debut worship album ‘Stained Glass Stories’ as a pop-infused track, which the UK artist now strips back as a dynamic acoustic version.

‘Loved Me First’ echoes with the encouragement of 1 John 4:19, reminding listeners that God’s love isn’t the outcome of being good enough, but it is found in trusting in his goodness. “As someone who always wants to give their best, I can easily fall into the trap of trying to ‘do it all’ perfectly,” Philippa says, “This song is a confession that God’s grace is enough for me.”

‘Loved Me First’ features simple drums, acoustic guitar, bass, grand piano, a mandolin, and a hammered dulcimer. Commenting on the latter, Philippa says “I’m really enjoying exploring the way instrumentation can elevate our expressions of worship,” something she demonstrates beautifully with this new project.

“Loved Me First” is available now.
