Late Hala

Late Hala is fronted by English songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist Dan Whiffin. Rooted in classic singer-songwriter traditions, the music blends electric and acoustic guitar with synth textures, dreamy vocals and vintage tones. Previous singles have earned support from BBC Introducing, and Late Hala has played intimate shows in London, Paris and at South by Southwest (SXSW), steadily building a reputation for honest, melodic songwriting with an atmospheric feel. The new single “No Turning Back” is a warm, introspective indie track that drifts between light and shadow - built on shimmering guitars, soft vocals, and a calm pulse that feels both grounded and weightless. Recorded at EVE Studios in Manchester with Jim Spencer (New Order, The Charlatans, Johnny Marr), it features John Victor (The Horros) on bass and Lara Smiles (B.C Camplight) on backing vocals. Subtle slide guitar textures and a lilting riff bring a gentle Americana touch to its dreamy indie sound.
