UK songwriter Hope Tala returns with new single ‘Phoenix’.

The artist’s eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Hope Handwritten’ is out on February 28th, and it represents her boldest, and most in-depth project yet. Available to pre-order now, the record finds Hope laying her feelings out on record, moving with real intent.

Take her new song ‘Phoenix’. Melodically bright, the bossa-inspired acoustic guitar chords lead you into a lyric sheet that longs for re-connection, with Hope Tala musing on friendship, and how much it means to her.

Hope comments…

Sometimes, when I’m writing a song, I’m not thinking how it might fit onto a project – I’m writing instead with the intention of confessing a feeling or communicating something significant to someone I love.

I wrote ‘Phoenix’ for my best friend while we were separated geographically after a long period of time seeing each other every day, in an attempt to express some of what our friendship means to me. It was of course inevitable that this song, which is about how friendship has lifted me from darkness into hope, would eventually find its way onto ‘Hope Handwritten’.

Tune in now.
