The track marks the third instalment in Hawken’s self-imposed “12 songs in 12 months” project — a prolific and deliberate statement from an artist determined to capture momentum in real time. Rather than waiting to compile material into a traditional album cycle, Hawken is embracing immediacy, releasing music as it evolves.

Break My Heart Again lands with a raw, punchy edge, swapping vulnerability for something far more confrontational. Built on driving guitars and a gritty alt-rock backbone, the single leans into defiance, reframing heartbreak not as defeat, but as fuel. It’s a sound that reflects Hawken’s broad influences, drawing equally from the poetic introspection of Leonard Cohen and the heavier, riff-driven weight of Black Sabbath.

Blending elements of punk, folk and classic rock, Hawken’s music carries a duality that feels both nostalgic and forward-facing. Her vocals sit at the centre of that balance — soulful yet urgent — delivering songs that feel lived-in but immediate.

Having recently introduced new material during performances in Paris, Hawken is steadily building a catalogue that reflects both consistency and evolution. With nine more releases still to come this year, Break My Heart Again is another step in what is shaping up to be a defining period for the artist.

At a time when many artists slow their output, Hawken is doing the opposite — leaning into creative instinct and letting the songs arrive as they are.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
