A vivacious new single from Hanna Andréa arrives with a message that almost all of us can understand at this point. Her approach to delivering her message is light-hearted but very honest at the same time, as the song reads as a sort of bright, colorful pop-rock approach that hits all the elements of radio friendliness you can think of.
"Get Off Your Phone" is a song that delves into the frustrations a lot of us have when we're trying to have a conversation with someone or watch a movie with someone, and they're just on their phone the entire time.
The song is basically about missing out on actual life because you're sitting on your phone, staring at your screen way too often.
Although the song is light-hearted and has this sort of carefree tonality to it, the message is very real.
This is a situation that happens to every single one of us, most likely multiple times a day.
Even when we have these sentiments ourselves and feel like people are on their phones way too much, we find ourselves scrolling as well.
We slam the phone down, shake it off, and tell ourselves we're not going to pick it back up for a while.
This track hits a brilliantly youthful approach to the sentiment, with pop-ridged vocals packed with character and animated sections, along with some great guitar work that stays clean during the verses, and then rocks out a little heavier during those choruses.
One of the things that works so well about this track is the way that Hanna puts those lyrics together. They all have such a great flow to them; she's amazing at delivering a semi-whimsical but really infectious kind of personality on record.
She's also really straightforward about it all. The lyrics aren't sugar-coated whatsoever. They're right in your face, she's getting that point across, and she's just tired of it.
I feel like this is a song almost all of us could send to a certain person.
It's got an explosive chorus, and her energy is just unmatched. Everything about this track is so well balanced, from the guitar work to the drums, the way it's arranged, and its composition, are all well thought out, but it's the performances across the song that really hit.
During the course, she pulls off some great harmonies, everything sounds very lush, and you end up getting that hook stuck in your head for a while.
I don't think I've heard a song that focuses on how people are addicted to their phones in this manner.
Usually, when someone releases a song about doom scrolling or just being on the phone too much, it's a little darker and harder. This track again has a lightness to it. It's breezy with loads of pop sensibility all over it.
That's part of the youthful style of approach that she takes to it.
I like this as well because she's a younger artist, and it's great to hear someone from her generation coming forth and just letting people know that even that generation is tired of people being on the phone.
It's not just us older people. Younger people are sick of trying to break through to someone or having to repeat themselves three times so that they can pull their face away from the screen.
I love this aspect about the song, and how she balances that attitude with that light-heartedness damn near perfectly.
The accompanying music video also showcases a lot of her character on screen, and she does an amazing job of not just portraying her message but also showcasing her presence as an artist.
There are some mellow sections with the chord progressions being played lighter, she's singing a little bit more heartfelt and soulful, and still keeps that pop coding very well, but during sections like that, you can feel a little bit of a different level of seriousness.
As I mentioned earlier, the message is very real, even though she takes this colorful approach to it.
I love a song that's catchy but also has something to say.
This was one of the more relatable tracks I've heard in a long time and done with such thick-laid hooks.
I would absolutely suggest watching the music video for the first time you listen to the song.
The visuals and setup add such a great layer to the song and the message.
So, don't miss this one, turn it up, and you'll most likely be singing along by that last big chorus.
