Hannah Dorman – The Fool (2026)
Known for her relatable storytelling, powerful performances, and generally engaging demeanour that draws you to her music, Hannah Dorman gives you a smile, a wave, and a sense of comfort with each melody. Influenced by the likes of Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette, she brims with female empowerment, but also lets you see a more vulnerable, fragile side to her persona. Along with her musical offerings, Hannah Dorman is an established content creator reaching a diverse global audience on her TikTok and Instagram. Join us as we take a gander at her most recent single, ‘The Fool’.
Produced by Sam Ray, with mastering by Adam ‘Yukin’ Harr, UK-based Dorman tries her hand at country music with ‘The Fool’. When it comes to this track, we might consider Hannah Dorman the younger sister of Shania Twain and best friend of Sheryl Crow, as she drags us back to the country-pop sounds of yesteryear. A stamp of drums beats in the back, while a bold bass carries along the melody. Sam Ray – yes, the producer – contributes a smash of guitars with a powerful electric riff riding the rhythmic wave. Yet, it is Dorman’s vocals that give ‘The Fool’ an edge and a bit of a cheeky grin.
Sauntering across the kaleidoscopic tune, her almost honey-soaked voice doesn’t necessarily dance atop the melody, but rather dances through with each step well placed, perfectly negotiated, and brimming in joyful innocence. It’s an upbeat song that encourages silliness, tenderness, and a barrel of plain, old fun. When speaking about ‘The Fool’, Dorman explains that the “track is about not taking yourself too seriously at the start of a relationship. Rather than overthinking every moment, ‘The Fool’ celebrates keeping things fun, light-hearted, and enjoying the excitement of getting to know someone.”
Shimmering and bright, the playful single is a great way to shake away the Monday blues. I highly recommend ‘The Fool’ and eagerly await more from this talented songstress.
