Sano Hill – The Climb (2022)

Sano Hill is getting us excited for his debut album with the release of ‘The Climb’. Inspired by life, loss and love, he brings a feeling of timelessness to his sound, while infusing something delightfully modern and present. With lyrics that speak from the heart, he blends original guitar movements with his distinct vocals for a moving single.

While he is working up to the release of his debut album, Sano Hill has already started making a name for himself on the music scene. Featured on compilation albums, he has found critical acclaim for this music and amazed audiences across the USA and Ireland. Working with producer Larry Hogan for his new music, he carefully crafts a soundscape that brings the timeless tone of classic rock to the raw emotions of soft rock.



‘The Climb’ has a really groovy vibe that comes through from the first deep thrum of the melody. That groovy thrum shivers across your shoulders and makes you want to shimmy and shake to its rhythm. There is a smoky feeling to the music as it swirls around you and draws you into the single. The smoky feeling sparks the embers of fire in the chorus that flair with heat and licks up your spine. The flairs of heat drop for the second verse to seductively slide across your ears. As you listen to the melody, you can feel the fingers of timeless sound tugging at the back of your brain, before something that is purely Sano Hill rises up.

As you slide down the smoky tones of the melody, the vocals add a woody scent to the smoke as it twirls around you. Through his performance, Hill grabs your hand and pulls you into the dance of the lyrics. His performance is as addictive as the melody with the same richness that sinks into your soul. The whiskey warm touch of his voice is an absolute pleasure to listen to while bringing a classic rock edge to the soundscape. His performance is a delicate balance of retro, modern and original flows that sweep you up in the movement. You may feel the urge to turn the volume up as you listen to the track before rocking out to the deep bridge.

Sano Hill grips you with smoky and groovy tones that draw you into his whiskey warm performance and sends you soaring like the sparking embers of a fire in ‘The Climb’. The single is captivating from start to finish. The timeless flairs of sound merge with modern flickers and something that is uniquely Sano Hill.
