Hannah Wants delivers the official video for 'Cure my desire' featuring Clementine Douglas
Following the success of ‘Cure My Desire’, released towards the end of 2022, Hannah Wants reveals the music video for the emotive house single on Defected Records ‘ directed by Miranda May.
In September of 2022, Hannah Wants delivered her highly anticipated Defected debut ‘Cure My Desire’ – a record pinned as her most meaningful production to date. Featuring vocalist-of-the-moment Clementine Douglas, whose recent collaborators include Dom Dolla, TSHA and Sonny Fodera, this record showcases a softer side to Hannah’s sound. An artist whose DJ sets span ‘house and many of its beautiful subgenres‘, the record demonstrated Hannah’s versatility as a producer.
‘Cure My Desire’ has since had 6M+ streams, peaked at #20 on the UK Shazam chart, been playlisted on KISS FM for over 15 weeks, and has been played over 70 times on BBC Radio 1. Written by Hannah about her public breakup in 2020, the video tells the story of what happened through a deeply personal lens with cameos of Hannah herself throughout. The relationship in the video is portrayed by real life couple, Lauren Roye and Maya Mayall, who attended the single launch party alongside video director Miranda May.
On the music video, which features LGBTQ+ / lesbian representation, Hannah says: ‘I’m a big believer that everything happens for a reason. That 2020 break up of mine ended up being a huge blessing in disguise which is why the video ends on such a positive note where the girl realises that she is far better off without a certain someone in her life.
‘Cure My Desire’ will forever be a favourite record of mine that means the most. It was written and produced at a time when I was going through the most traumatic, public and painful break up and Clementine’s vocal resonated so perfectly.
From the song’s inception I only had one record label in mind, Defected, and I always knew I wanted to make an official video to encapsulate the experience. It was one of the most difficult periods of my life on a personal level but the creation of this song was literally my catharsis and way of healing.’ ‘ Hannah Wants
