‘On & On,’ the new single by producer, vocalist, songwriter, and audio engineer John J. Hannibal, aka HVNNIBVL, has just been released.
Described by Clash Magazine as “A vivid, idiosyncratic talent, HVNNIBVL is gearing up for the summer season with new cut 'On & On'. The piercing vocals are filtered through some refreshing effects, while the rattling percussion nods towards dancehall sounds.”
Although HVNNIBVL has wide variety of influences (from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, to Bruno Mars and Skrillex) he is also wary of defining his sound in terms of genre, citing that he is “influenced by anybody that does what they love to do, and shows passion with every ounce of doing it.”
HVNNIBVL says of the new single: “Making 'On And On' was interesting because it was a track that came to fruition with different intent at the beginning. I wanted to make an accessible song, something everyone could enjoy, but something that didn't completely follow the EDM craze going on in pop music right now. With that in mind, I had the idea to make a Pop collab with an EDM producer with less of a 'drop' and more emphasis on the song itself. I originally made a layout of the song to send to some bigger producers to see if they wanted to recreate parts of it with me remaining the singer and writer. After noticing a busy period for most of the people we reached out to, my manager and I had been listening to it and he said to me 'yo this could actually make a really great stand alone track'. I had it in my mind all this time to gather a production collaboration, but failed to realize that I actually had laid out a damn near finished song already. After establishing that we could move forward with it as strictly a HVNNIBVL track, I added finishing touches to the production and we were ready to move forward."
HVNNIBVL is currently working on a new and once again entirely self composed EP, and is working with both notable and up and coming artists alongside plans to begin officially touring in Summer 2017. Watch this space!
