After releasing two singles and having played numerous gigs in Italy, they were signed to the rising Italian Label “OPERA' MUSIC” in 2004, which are in collaboration with the international Publishing Company Peer Music.
During 2005/2006, Hana-B played at all major Italian festivals and won awards for their original and international sound that characterizes their music. In 2006 Hana-B also won the prestigious Best Indie Rock Italian Revelation of the year award.

In the beginning of 2007, the band decided to record new material in London’s Dairy Studio, with Producer James Loughrey (Hope of the State, My Vitriol, Razorlight, Dave Gahan, Page & Plant, Queen).
It was a great collaboration with James as he immediately captured the mood of the band and in coming months, they started the pre-production of the album with him.

At the end of 2007 they got acquainted with Davide Rossi (Coldplay, The Verve, Goldfrapp, Siouxie Sioux, Royksopp, Fripp), an Italian string performer and producer who arranged all strings in Coldplay’s award winning album “Viva la Vida”. This brought a new dynamic to the sound and the team was finally ready to record their first English spoken album.

On January 2008 HANA-B began the production of the album at Olympic Studios in London and laid some of the instrumental tracks at Britannia Row Studios.
At the end of the production, Hana-B decided to reside permanently in London to be closer to the infamous music scene.
