Hannah Rose Platt - Curious Mixtures

Bristol-based singer/songwriter Hannah Rose Platt chooses unusual, curious topics for her music, like a fictional murder on NYC's G train. For her new album, Fragile Creatures, she conducted scientific research into the bright and dark sides of the history of women's health care.

Hannah explains:

"This record is both an offering and a tribute to female pioneers in medicine; and an endeavour to honour, and give voice to, the unsung heroines in the history of our health. What struck me most during the research and creation of this album was the deeply ingrained, sinister nature of myth and misconception surrounding women’s health, and the harmful, cyclical dismissal of experiences; decade after decade, century after century, often reinforced by outdated and dangerous practices. My hope is that listeners will not only be intrigued by these stories but also inspired to dig deeper and empowered to challenge the systems that have long ignored or misrepresented women’s voices, as this dismissal remains so prevalent today."

The first single, "Curious Mixtures," is a silvery folk-pop song about a midwife who secretly does her work, ignoring the mortal danger for herself. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on Spotify, Apple Music, or watch the video below:
