HANA

Hana is the seventh studio album by English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor, released through Cooking Vinyl on 2 June 2023. The album is her third and final to be produced by Ed Harcourt, alongside Wanderlust and Familia. Musically, Ellis-Bextor sought to create a fantastical world for the album, inspired by a trip to Japan shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Hana is an album exploring themes such as optimism, adventure and mortality. It was supported by the singles "Breaking the Circle", "Everything Is Sweet" and "Lost in the Sunshine". Reviewers praised the individuality of the album and found it a fitting addition to Ellis Bextor's discography, but held mixed opinions on the results of her continued collaboration with Harcourt. A deluxe edition was released on 24 November 2023.
