Rhiannon Hope

Liverpool-born, Leeds-based folk songwriter Rhiannon Hope is set to release her first EP, All Things, Rising and Returning, on 25th September via Private Regcords. The lead single, ‘B.B.’, is out now.

Weaving odes to jazz greats into tales of the working class experience and stitching gentle twangs into accordion hums, All Things, Rising and Returning marks the debut release from Leeds-based folk artist Rhiannon Hope. The EP nurtures a unique blend of traditional folk and contemporary influences, with Rhiannon looking to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Aldous Harding for sonic guidance. The resulting sound is at once delicate and deliberate, wistful yet soulful, and, perhaps most of all, timeless.

Lead single ‘B.B’ arrived earlier this month and proved Hope’s talent for melody and vulnerability in her approach to folk, exploring feelings of imposter syndrome over soft strings. The track earned Hope press coverage from DIY Magazine, Still Listening and Far Out Magazine, the latter comparing the track to a glowing pink sunset, “beautiful and full of catharsis.” Now, the single is being pressed onto wax, alongside three more tracks from Rhiannon’s repertoire, as part of her debut EP.
