1) Hannah has ruled the charts at home in Estonia for more than a decade and her mantelpiece groans under the weight of awards. She’s been a proud flag-bearer for her country, and has enjoyed massive record success on six albums. Now, from her home in London and via exciting collaborations with the hottest composers and producers, singer-songwriter Hannah is ready to make a new imprint on the international pop scene.

It’s over ten years since Hannah's blend of incisive ballads and savvy pop first made its mark. Her long reign has brought repeated recognition, including the republic’s Best Female Artist award on two occasions.

Now, for summer 2009, the stakes are raised again and Hannah is in impressive company. The singer, writer and pianist has been composing and recording with some of the most in-demand sidemen in the business.

The roll call includes Steve Robson, co-writer of Take That’s Shine, James Morrison’s Undiscovered and Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore, among others; Steve Booker, co-writer and producer of Duffy’s Mercy, smash and collaborator with Sugababes; Grant Black, who wrote Liberty X’s Song 4 Lovers and songs for Holly Valance, Peter Grant et al; and Peter-John Vettese, whose quarter-century-plus in the business includes credits with everyone from Annie Lennox to Carly Simon and Gary Barlow to Robin Gibb.

“This has been the greatest thing of all,” says Hannah of working with such a cast of hitmakers. “They’re so talented and have so much to give. I was very afraid at the beginning. When I went to the studio with Steve Booker, it was my first collaboration ever. Before that I’d only written music by myself — even the family were never around.

“I was afraid that maybe nothing would come, maybe we wouldn’t be inspired, but it was so easy, and he was so friendly.” The results will be heard on a track for the album called Shadow On The Wall, while the rendezvous with Grant Black produced Free.

The first fruit of these fascinating combinations is the single Keeping Score, due out on June 29 on SnowDog Records. It’s a nimble piece of noughties pop that’s also a perfect fit for the clubs, via remixes by Bimbo Jones, Digital Dog and Riffs & Rays, some of the most sought-after DJ-producers of this dance decade. It’s a perfect aperitif for Hannah’s new album, due in September.

She also intends to return to the live stage around that time, her first shows since touring the UK late last year as special guest of Jason Donovan.

That was a special treat. “I got to know British audiences,” says Hannah, “which was a great opportunity because all the audiences are so different in other parts of the World. It was really warm and welcoming for me, I was so surprised and touched.”

The album will be the latest highlight of what’s already a remarkable musical lifetime. Born in 1981, Hannah was always marked out for a career in the business, joining Tallinn’s distinguished Children’s Music Studio (Lasteekraani Muusikastuudio) at three, and then the Estonian Radio Singing Studio at five. She joined the Tallinn Music School at seven and then the Estonian National TV Choir. With those years of rich experience under her belt as a vocalist and pianist, perhaps it was no surprise when she entered the Estonian Children’s Song Competition and won it, with her own composition, at a mere 13.

The die was cast. By 16, Hannah was ready to leave the choir and start a career in music that ran alongside her media and advertising studies at university. She immersed herself in the work of a wide array of recording greats, from Frank Sinatra to Alicia Keys and Coldplay to The Corrs. Before long, she was reaping commercial rewards, and plenty of awards too, including Best Dance Hit of 2001 at the Estonian Musical Awards with Blinded, and a hat-trick of victories over the years at the Estonian Golden Record Awards: Best Female Artist in both 2003 and 2005, and Best Album, also in 2005.

Small wonder, then, that as such a great representative of the country’s cultural vibrance, Hannah was named Estonia’s official Ambassador For Tourism. She lives in London these days, but visits home often. “I’m very proud to come from Estonia. It’s beautiful, but quite undiscovered, and I’m looking forward to introducing people to the stunning countryside, the wonderfully rejuvenating health spas, the islands, the nature and our incredible history.”

There’s also her work with IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and is a dedicated fundraiser for children’s charities, not to mention that she’s a keen runner and owner of two dogs and three cats. But right now, Hannah’s sights are set squarely on one of the most exciting challenges of her career.

“This is like a new chapter for me,” she says. “I really didn’t understand how this part of the world worked before I moved to London. It’s really difficult to be successful somewhere when you’re based somewhere else, so for me that was the perfect decision. I hope everything will go in the right direction, because it just feels so right now.”

Salaja kuulasin su samme siis
Salaja jälgisin kuis lahkusid
Varjud su teel
Vaid mulle näid
Päevad on tühjust täis

Kuuluda sulle siiski nüüd ma saan
Loodan veel et jääksid salaja sa

Sinu samme pean ootama tuulisel teel
Tuled siia veel, tuled siia veel

Salaja soovisin et siia jääd
Salaja proovisin sul hoida käest
On soojust täis su külmad peod
See saladus meid nüüd seob

Kuuluda sulle siiski nüüd ma saan
Loodan veel et jääksid salaja sa
Sinu samme pean ootama tuulisel teel
Tuled siia veel, tuled siia veel

Pean loobuma, kuigi salaja (salaja)
Loodan veel

Kuuluda sulle siiski nüüd ma saan
Loodan veel et jääksid salaja sa

Sinu samme pean ootama tuulisel teel
Tuled siia veel, tuled siia veel

Overall Meaning

In Hannah's song Salaja, she expresses her desire to be with someone who has already left her behind. The first stanza suggests that she listened and followed the person's footsteps secretly, and although she was not visible, she could only see his shadow on the path. This creates a sense of longing for the person, and their absence results in empty days for Hannah.
The second stanza goes on to reveal the depth of her feelings for the person. She wishes for them to stay with her secretly or tries to hold their hand secretly. She acknowledges that although the person's hands are cold, she is full of warmth, and their shared secret now binds them.

Throughout the lyrics, the importance of secrecy is emphasized, possibly to convey the idea that their love is a secret, and they are not meant to be together openly. Hannah seems to be willing to wait for the person, as suggested in the line "Sinu samme pean ootama tuulisel teel" (I have to wait for your steps on a windy path). The final line "Pean loobuma, kuigi salaja" (I have to give up, even though secretly) indicates her reluctance to let go of her feelings for the person.
