The track follows the release of her lauded debut solo single ‘Tiptoe’.
Hope Whitelock is an artist who’s unique singer-songwriter style is grounded in reality, and all of the gravity and often harshness that comes with them. Her sound has a really earnest quality to it while feeling quite conversational and engaging, making for an entirely distinctive listening experience that is anchored around the artist’s personality and mood.
The artist’s new single is ‘Stoned’, a wonderfully poised summation of the artist’s sound and this distinctive style, wearing the her thoughts and feelings on her sleeve in her free-flowing fashion. This is accentuated by a serene, stripped back sound and Hope’s engaging vocals, giving the track an appeal that feels equal parts rousing and sobering, a package that feels grounded in the rawness of the real world, and the ups and downs that come with it. ‘Stoned’ is a truly endearing showcase of Hope and the uniqueness and charm that she brings to the table within her writing and her sound.
