Hannah Connolly ‘touches down in Reno’ as her future thoughts are captured in “Reno”, the first cut on her recent release, Shadowboxing. A-list songwriting flows from track to track on the album. Hannah Connolly providing a backstory for the songs recalling that ‘I had a lot of lyrics piling up. In order to have some more time to write, I took off work for three days. I literally pretended like I was going into the studio, but it was actually the extra bedroom where my fiancé and I had recording equipment set up. We wrote almost three songs a day for a few days which was really fun. All of the sudden it was like, ‘Whoa, there’s so much coming out here’.
 
Many of the cuts on Shadowboxing were co-written by Jordan Ruiz, who produced Hannah’s debut, From Where You Are, an introspective album that drew heavily from the death of her younger brother to a drunk driver in 2015.  Recording at Jon O’Brien’s studio in Idyllwild, California, the songs on Shadowboxing have an easy flow, noticeably born in Folk music while stretching the sound. “Rushing By” tumbles on a dreamy groove and “Bags Are Packed” relies on the strength of its guitar strums to provide rhythm as Hannah Connolly starts out with a shout to declare that she is “Tired of Trying”.
 
The Shadowboxing title track walks through the night on a shimmering soundscape as “Stuck in Place” confronts indecision while Hannah Connolly asks questions in “Brothers in the Same Dream”, picks up the pace when she finds strength in “Golden” and meanders along echoey rhythms sailing across “The Party’s Over”.
