Trust Fall
Self-Released, 2025
9/10
The Nashville singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Hannah Delynn makes an impression with this debut album, where freedom through vulnerability are found in songs that surround hope and healing.
The heartfelt singing and warm acoustic guitar of “For The Record” opens with much power and emotion, and “Leaf On A River” follows with Ethan Jodziewicz’s well timed ukulele in the bare, moving climate.
In the middle, “No Small Thing” welcomes Maya’s backing vocals amid a dreamy mood of beauty and grace, while “The Rooster’s Dead” is a cozy, folk-friendly moment that spotlights Delynn’s alluring voice and Jodziewicz’s uke bass.
“Wishes” and “Waiting” exit the listen. The former unfolds like a lullaby of light and intimate songwriting, and the latter pairs John Mailander’s mature violin with the soulful singing.
An album that spans a variety of emotions, the subtle use of Alex Wilder’s keys and Jordan Tice’s guitar add even more allure to the raw, cathartic and human experience of a really genuine effort.
