For me, as an artist, at this time when the world is dominated by madness, it is an immense joy to be able to witness the birth of such artists. So much purity, so much energy and desire to go further. Art alone bears witness to truth, to peace, to spiritual elevation. It will be an honour to follow this artist and a dream to one day perhaps collaborate with her on an artistic project.

[TomaszTomasz-otdl]

It should be released as a separate live album. What a treat!

I accidentally clicked on this video but immediately stuck around to listen to this enchanting music for an hour and a half. I'm still dazed about it. I didn't know her at all, what a shame.

[Czu]

Ubiegłej Niedzieli miałem ogromne szczęście i przyjemność być na występie Hani w Wiedniu. Ahhhh, cóż to była za niesamowita uczta dla oczu i uszu a przede wszystkim dla duszy. Kosmiczne i niezapomniane przeżycie. Po uszy zakochany jestem w twych dzwiękach Hania.

[tiagolimaquintanilha]

getting better and better. Frahm, Olafur and now Rani. What a trio.

[CRLFNKL]

Haina is quickly becoming one of the greatest musicians of our time. One who will be spoken of in many years to come.
So beautiful to witness her development and rise.

[driggerfireon]

How fast she’s gaining traction and recognition. Applauding the record company & promoters.

[erichaberman]

Absolutely stunning!! Superstar shines so bright! We are lucky to live in a time that has Hania Rani

[joaosantos]

The beginning is like an ode to Frahm. And then there's always traces of Glass, Jóhannsson, Arnalds, and even Melnyk (the fast piano). I love her work 🙏

[hpman]

WOW wow🎉🎉 never heard music like thisThan you YouTube for this Magical gift.

[staffanolofsson]

Just wonderful Hania! And yes, we are all very grateful to Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds who are her friends and mentors. Still I can see that Hania has her own path to go. She is already walking on it. With her lovely singing she has drawn up another way to go in this forest.

[blackpudding]

A very personal comment: Last year my Mum died, she was 90, and it was okay. There was some money left to us 6 children (I'm 67!) The chance to make a dream come true. I had always wanted to visit Iceland. This year in April/ May I was there for 4 weeks, travelling in my very basic VW Multivan from 2005. Before leaving, I did some checking on Icelandic music and discovered Olafur Arnalds. Brilliant. Then I found Hania had worked with him and had also done some work on Iceland. Today I have discovered Victor. I will be travelling back to Iceland in two weeks and will be watching the Youth Orchestra perform Dvoraks 'New World' in Reyjkavik. At some point I will park up at Reykjadiskur, play Ghosts, and probably cry my heart out. I am soooo grateful to what ever led me on this path and introduced me to these amazing musicians/ visionaries; Hania, particularly. God bless.

[diegobrowne]

Completely changed how I think about music. The textures, the repetitions, the secret dissonances that tend to complex and beautiful harmonies.
Best music for acid.

[misiukisiu]

Co jest grane? Co to w ogóle jest za gatunek? Nie wiem, ale ładunek emocjonalny jest tak ogromny i tak wypięlęgnowany, że leżę i nie mogę skończyć słuchać.

[mariuszgerat]

Uwielbiam ten wymiar do którego mogę się przenieść słuchając jej muzyki.

[StrageSPB]

Unusual modern quality sound. A real find.
A charming combination of gentle female vocals, cellos, violins, piano, and, all of a sudden, very harmonious electronic music - sometimes rhythmic, sometimes atmospheric.
Thank you very much!

Haniu zdolna jesteś👍😃 To już z pewnością wiesz👍😃 Poszukiwałem czegoś nowego w temacie Ambient Post Rocka... Wyskoczyłaś Ty👍😃😀 Po odkryciu kilka lat temu Distant Dream jesteś moją nową Fascynacją👍😀 To jest piękne w muzyce, że się rozwija i nie kończy. W całym gąszczu dźwięków melodii zawsze można coś ciekawego odnaleźć. Cieszę się, że Twoja kariera się rozwija. Dawno w takie rejony nie zaglądalem. Dziękuję👍😀💪

[Paranoid]

After 15 minutes I gave up the stuff I was doing and closed my eyes, I boarded on "the boat" for a wide and wonderful trip... the applause after the interlude took me out of my thought, opened my eyes and was quite surprised to be still in my room 😳
