Hope Tala announces her debut album, Hope Handwritten

Speaking on the making of "Jumping The Gun" Hope Tala shares: “It’s a funny coincidence that one of the percussion elements in this song is a clicking pen. I didn’t realise the link between this and the album title - Hope Handwritten - for some time. ‘Jumping the Gun’ is one of the first songs I wrote for the album and is one of only two that made it from the very first draft I wrote in 2021 onto the final track list - I never once considered letting it go.”

"Jumping The Gun" follows a string of singles, including "I Can’t Even Cry", "Bad Love God", "Thank Goodness", and most recently "Shiver".

After revealing the title of her debut album, Hope Tala shares what it means to her; “The title contains multiple meanings; I write most of my lyrics by hand in a notebook, hence ‘handwritten’, and I’ve put so much of my heart and soul into this music, which is where the self-titled element came from - but it also communicates what I believe is the crux of the record, which is the struggle to hold on to the feeling of hope.”
