West London-based artist Hope Tala is retaining her excellent form with the release of her new single, ‘Leave It On The Dancefloor’. The track is about exactly what you’d expect: dancing the pain away. Her joyous, optimistic vocal shimmers above 80s synth sounds and an impossible-to-ignore groove. “I wrote this song imagining what I would want someone to tell me while I was going through a hard time,” she says. “The chorus lyric encapsulates it all - ‘So come on leave it on the dancefloor, leave your worries all behind, and let the night take the pain away’.” Be sure to check out Hope Tala’s back catalogue, which includes the Barack Obama-praised single, ‘All My Girls Like To Fight’. -Dan Peeke.
