An inspirational artist who has a compelling story of bouncing back from adversity in rousing and emphatic fashion, Hilary Roberts has become something of a beacon of hope for people struggling with things like addiction and abuse, using her platform to champion various causes and uplift listeners whenever she gets the chance.

The artist’s latest single ‘Better Than This’ sees the artist teaming up with gospel singer Brenda Ellis to craft an expression of self-reflection, acknowledgement of past wrongs, and a commitment to positive change. Released on Martin Luther King Day back in January, the track serves as an anthemic ballad that offers an apology to people of colour for injustices and oppression, both past and present. The powerful and hard-hitting nature of the sound when combined with the heavy subject matter makes for a memorable and emphatic listening experience, and one that leaves a lasting impact.
