INTERVIEW WITH HALLE KEARNS AS SHE RELEASES HER BRAND NEW EP, QUARTER LIFE CRISIS

-
Today's (Friday 21st June) interview is with Halle Kearns which supports the release of her Quarter Life Crisis EP, a few weeks ago I caught up with Halle Kearns as she releases this magical EP.

Hello Halle, Congratulations on Quarter Life Crisis being released today - how are you feeling about it?
I am so genuinely excited to have a new project out. Singles are so fun, but watching all of them come together to create a piece of work always feels super rewarding!

Can you please tell us about how you decided on the 6 songs for the EP?
Each of the 6 songs pull from different emotions and circumstances that come with being in a quarter-life-crisis. It felt like each song served its own purpose in relaying the overall message of the EP’s theme!

You played a selection of these shows during your visit to London for C2C back in March, how was that for you?
C2C was one of my favorite musical experiences I’ve had to date. I cannot wait to come back and play in London again!

You take listeners on a journey through your life within these 6 songs, was this the aim?
This was absolutely the aim! These songs are all very true to where I’ve been mentally the last couple of years - finding myself, then losing her again. It’s all a part of the journey, and I love sharing this with my listeners!

You have managed to capture every kind of emotion within these 6 songs, did that side of the songs make easy or did you just write from the heart?
I always write from the heart, for sure! I think finding the theme was easy once reflecting on some of the songs that I had been writing.

You got married last year, and I think the final track is a beautiful tribute to him and your relationship journey and you are so lucky to have someone like that. How was that song to write, and how did he respond to the song when you showed him?
That is SO sweet to say. I love my husband very much and he definitely carries me through a lot of situations, but this song is actually about my relationship with God! He is the thing that truly carries me through all the highs and lows of life. He’s my one consistent, and the One Thing that makes sense of my quarter-life-crisis.

There is so much vulnerability within the songs that I have to thank you for sharing as I was able to relate with many of them like I think many other people will too.
Thank you so much for saying that, Kellie!

Settlin' Kind is one of my favourites and the message within the song is brilliant with that mutual respect of how everyone's journey in life is different and that's OK - a message that is very much needed for many people at the moment, thank you for writing music like this.
So so kind. This song represents multiple different mindsets I’ve been in just in my life alone. I think it brings a good perspective that people really do have different paths, and it also is completely okay to change your mind and let your dreams shift with that!

Just out of curiosity how long did Quarter Life Crisis take to write and record?
I believe “Settlin’ Kind” was the first song written on this project, and I think it was sometime around a year ago! So from there, a slow rollout of songs were written from that point. I have a lot more that didn’t fit in with this theme that I’m so excited to eventually roll out too!

How do you describe Quarter Life Crisis in 3 words?
Wonderment, Confusion, and Discovery.

Before I let you go, I have to ask about your plans for the rest of 2024?
More music more music, and I am on the road all fall with Mason Ramsey! I also have a few surprises up my sleeve *smiles*.

Thank you for your time, Halle. I look forward to speaking to you again soon.
You’re the best, Kel! Talk soon!

Next week's Hollyoaks episodes are set to be emotional ones for Frankie Osborne as she continues to open up to her loved ones and to think that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in January of this year. When asked how would you describe the Osborne/ Ashworth family dynamic over the past few months, Isabelle said  "The family dynamic between the Osborne’s and the Ashworth’s has been tricky to navigate for each individual family member..." Before continuing "Her mum Suzanne, Darren and Nancy clash on differing opinions and the outbursts that Frankie has. These acts of defiance are Frankie’s way of coping and they seem to be dividing the family when all she really wants is for them to surround her with support." Frankie's sibling relationship with Oscar has grown over the past few months since she learned sign language, can you please us about this?  "The relationship between Frankie and Oscar is some of my favourite scenes to play! It’s like Fran

HOLLYOAKS REVIEW - ISABELLE SMITH CAPTURES THE EMOTIONAL AND VULNERABLE SIDE OF FRANKIE BRILLIANTLY

It's hard to believe that Isabelle Smith only arrived on our screens in the Chester based soap Hollyoaks in January 2024 which has seen her character, Frankie Osborne go through some tough times. Over the past few months in Hollyoaks, Frankie Osborne has had a tough time, but viewers have seen Grace Black support Frankie during Monday 22nd July's episode on E4 where Frankie opened up to her uncle, Freddie Roscoe who was in a coma at the time.  You could see a change in the character once this had happened as the vulnerability shines through in an emotional scene. You can really understand the turmoil in Frankie as all she wants to do is protect her loved ones. Photo Credit: Lime Pictures/ Hollyoaks *Written as I watched on E4* During last Thursday's episode (15th August) viewers saw the start of Frankie breaking down following her ordeal which saw her become even more anxious around her brother, JJ following her slip-up during a conversation with Darren Osborne, you only ha

Since Isabelle Smith  arrived on our screens back in January, Hollyoaks viewers have seen a hard-hitting storyline for her character, Frankie Osborne who since  February has had tough relationships with Osborne family especially Nancy and Jack, and looking back now you can see the cries for help with her moods, attitude, and vulnerability that have changed across the past 6 months. Frankie's used dance as her escape seeing her audition for dance school. With Darren having been the one wanting to protect Frankie with everything that has arose. One of my favourite moments was Frankie learning sign language so she could communicate with Oscar allowing people to see the caring side to the character. The first appearance of Frankie Osborne came in Wednesday's episode (4th September) where her dance place got deferred leaving her devastated as Darren continued to support Frankie seeing her become emotional about her return to school it was clear how much Darren has Frankie's best
