Our Artist of the Week is Gretel.
Closing out 2025 with quiet confidence, Gretel (formerly known as Gretel Hänlyn) unveils her latest release, ‘Darkness Be My Friend’ – a beautifully atmospheric piece that highlights her gift for pairing shadowy textures with heartfelt songwriting.
The track captures Gretel stepping into a new creative chapter, one marked by bold choices and a renewed sense of artistic identity. There’s a quiet resilience running through the song, offering something intimate yet powerful as it slowly unfolds.
Listen to ‘Darkness Be My Friend’ here:
‘Darkness Be My Friend’ arrives on the heels of ‘Maybelline’ and ‘Unbloom’. Collectively, these releases sketch the outline of a fully realised new era, one defined by experimentation, clarity, and a growing confidence in her craft.
A fitting final offering for the year, this release reinforces Gretel as one of the UK’s most compelling emerging artists – an artist clearly ready to step into her next phase with purpose.
