British-Jamaican songstress, Hope Tala, is a rising star, dubbed "the uber-cool romantic poet with a twist in her pen". Her songcraft is strong, with clever wordplay reminiscent of your favourite hip hop lyricists, sung with soft vocals or flow-switched-up in spoken word. She laces her stories over sunny, bossa nova beats teamed with flecks of R&B, neo-soul, and indie pop. Praised by Rolling Stone, NME, Gay Times, Clash and DIY to name a few and selected three times for Barack Obama’s Summer Playlists, Hope’s accolades speak to her unique artistry. With festival slots at Glastonbury, Latitude and Coachella and opening performances for Florence and the Machine in LA and SZA at the 2024 BST Hyde Park, Hope Tala has steadily built a reputation as one of music’s most exciting new voices. For Hope, 2024 was marked by her "Mini Tour" with sold-out headline shows in London, NYC, and LA alongside the release of several critically acclaimed singles that set the stage for her highly anticipated debut album, 'Hope Handwritten', dropping on February 28, 2025. With the album release just around the corner, Hope is opening for Zayn Malik on his first ever solo tour in North America. This UK star has international buzz and it’s about to get louder.
