Upcoming pop sensation Hana McCartney has released “Dope”, the first single from her upcoming album, Rust and Stardust album. The new track perfectly sets the tone for the songs to come from the album, touching on how easy it is to be peer pressured by those you love and how quickly it can turn from love to manipulation. Listen to the song now below.
“The idea of each song having a drug reference or innuendo was already in my mind when I started writing this album. Taking taboo topics like abusive relationships, substance abuse, addiction, and mental health and personifying them into stories that are relevant to me and others can relate to was my goal,” says Hana McCartney, speaking more in detail about her new record.
It was originally envisioned as a blues-based song by Hana McCartney. There was a noticeable slowdown compared to the final product. To fit the lyrical content better, Hana decided to make the song faster-paced, darker, and catchier.
