About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Los Angeles-based vocalist
song-cries with a humble, quiet-fire lucidity-- as
autumnal as apple juice but as clear as the rain. Her
voice, breathy and bittersweet, occasionally cracks
Crow-esque, but is ultimately distinguished by an
earthier, spiritual sheen that comes feathered in two
shades of pain and survivor-guilt soulfulness. Any
skepticism concerning Hope's sonic sorcery is purged
once you lean into her sound's religion and let the
lullabies wash over you like a promise. "The Rain
Don't Last", Hope's new single, does just that.
Insightful lyrics loom like some silent peninsula, over
minimalist, acoustic-soul strumming. The mood here,
while at first melancholic, soon shifts to...
well...hopeful, as the recent Atlantic signee reminds
us that while the sun may not always shine, it's best
to just "let it go." Granted, the whole "chin up" theme
has been touched before-- it's practically legal tender.
Hope, however, manages to take the cliche and, in
her breezy alto, make it sound like the blissful riddle
to someone's math-encrypted void. Peace and piety
seem only a mother's kiss away. [Will Dukes] A clear
voice, a pure new sound, a petite musical messiahNo
other name could be more fitting for the beautiful
lady who has become something of a legend for
music lovers everywhere. Whether its her gentle
melodies that merge rock and soul, or sultry vocals
over her acoustic guitar, her incomparable soothing
voice says it all. Hope is like a breath of fresh air in
step with the rhythms of life. Her harmony is so pure
and her voice so sweet that it melts your soul...
