The gorgeous track showcases the most vulnerable and emotive side of the rising artist
Boulder, CO based artist Hope Whitelock has long been acclaimed for the stirring and personal nature of her sound and writing since her emergence in 2022, and latest single ‘For Emily’ might just be her most vulnerable and powerful to date.
The track explores loss in devastating fashion, with its delicate and intimate lyrics providing a gorgeous ode to the artist’s late sister, the titular Emily. The lyrics and softness of the sound serve as an emotional gut punch to listeners, as the artist painstakingly uncovers memories and moments that, whether real or imagined, externalise these feelings of love and loss and uncertainty. There is a truly powerful and affecting feel to the track, one that will stop you in your tracks on more than one occasion thanks to its earnest vulnerability and honesty. ‘For Emily’ is a wonderful tribute that feels raw, honest, gentle, painful and soberingly real, something that will stick with you and cling to your skin for long after your listen.
