Hope Tala, London

Hope Tala biography

Hope Tala transmits a thoughtful message as she simultaneously unlocks a creative flow state where R&B, soul, alternative, pop, and Bossa Nova comingle. Teaching herself how to play guitar and record on Logic, the West London-based artist, producer, and songstress initially made waves with “Peace Freestyle” back in 2016. Between earning a First Class Degree in English literature from the University of Bristol, she built a following with a series of independent releases, including the Starry Ache EP [2018] and the Sensitive Soul EP [2019]. Meanwhile, 2020’s Girl Eats Sun EP represented another high watermark. The single “All My Girls Like To Fight” not only soundtracked the opening of the Gossip Girl relaunch, but it also landed on Barack Obama’s “Favorite Music of 2020.” Releasing “MAD,” “Tiptoeing,” and “Party Sickness,” critical acclaim followed from BBC Radio 1, Billboard, Clash, Consequence, DAZED, Entertainment Tonight, HYPEBEAST, NME, NPR, Rolling Stone, SPIN, The Guardian, and TMRW Magazine, to name a few. Expanding her vision, she cut deep with “Is It Enough,” which tackled systemic inequality without fear. Now, she captivates and provokes on a series of singles for Republic Records and her forthcoming full-length debut introduced by “Leave It On The Dancefloor.”
