Retrieve (EP | 2026) by Airling
https://airling.lnk.to/Retrieve

Produced / Mixed by Tom Iansek
Recorded by Graham Ritchie and Tom Iansek
Mastered by Andrei Eremin
�R e t r i e v e /rɪ’triːv/�To find and bring something precious back.�To retrieve what was lost.�To go forth and recover.

Returning with a collection of sophisticated dream-pop songs that pair crisp RnB production with crystalline vocals, Retrieve explores experiences of loss, recovery, infatuation and power. It was written and recorded with long time collaborators Tom Iansek ( #1 Dads, Big Scary) and Graham Ritchie (Holy Holy, Scenes) - the same team as her debut EP Love Gracefully, and LP Hard to Sleep, Easy to Dream - at her home in Brisbane, 4000 Studios and BellBird Studio, Melbourne. Each moment played, spoken, sung or programmed by Graham, Tom and Hannah together. The first instalment of the EP, 'Mona Lisa', is a vibrant declaration of trust and leaps of faith.
�Direct from Airling: "I’ve always had a fascination with the human body and the human condition… our fragility and astounding depth of resilience. My voice has evolved with me and my life. Connecting with people through music isn’t the same as helping the most vulnerable, but I find it weirdly similar. It’s a different energy but there’s this familiar warmth. And when writing the songs on Retrieve, I found myself in my favourite state... a song comes to me and I just play."�

Han & Tom I back after 8 years for a team up ! ‘Love Lessons’ by Airling feat. Tom Iansek out now.

Their collaborative relationship is a longstanding intertwining of their kindred creative spirits. Tacit and natural. Their bond has been seminal to Airling’s artistry since day one, with ‘Love Lessons’ reflective of their shorthand in the studio, effortlessly feeding from one to the other. Conversely to the single’s subject matter, ‘Love Lessons’ speaks to the understanding at the heart of a relationship.

'Better When You Groove' by Airling. Happy listening ! https://airling.lnk.to/BetterWhenYouGroove

It's Hannah's “love/hate letter to music,” and is a crutch point of the 'Retrieve' EP, sourcing strength and confidence from unshielded authenticity. “It takes so much bravery to put yourself and your creativity into the light and give it to others. Writing this song helped me forget about the things that make me ache. I focused on the way that my hands wanted to move and the love that was flying out of my mouth. Even on the days when I’m conflicted... music is still my everything, music is feeling alive.”

New photo. New Song. New EP, March 6 '26.
Welcome back Airling - 'Mona Lisa' Out Now.

Airling, AKA Hannah Shepherd, pours her heart into life and opens it to the world through music. Following the release of her debut album, she sought a change and pivoted into nursing, another calling for her empathetic nature. This time away gave her the space to rediscover the joy of making music. Songs arrived without expectation or judgement, and with nothing external to pierce the magic of melody and rhythm, she was able to retrieve her inspiration.

"When you see the Mona Lisa, you get the feeling that she is looking at you no matter where you stand in the room. There’s always a huge crowd around her. This song is about how blurred our boundaries can get and how confusing power dynamics are. It’s about falling for love, and falling for the glitter and glamour of someone. In our world that is overloaded with distractions, it’s so precious to have someone’s unconditional attention and to be present for them in return."
