In The Spotlight

Hugo Joyce – “False Hope”

Hailing from London, this British singer and songwriter already started writing his first lyrics in primary school. He began learning jazz saxophone until he was 14 and then changed it for the piano. Soon after he combined writing lyrics with his music and wrote his first full song. He’s since went on to open for Benedict Cork and performed at venues like The Troubadour and Ronnie Scotts. Inspired by Elton John, Carole King and John Legend, he released his debut “Nervous” in 2021.

Telling the relatable story of a break-up caused by the realization that the other person didn’t feel the same way, his new single takes the experience and uses it to inspire to not settle and go and find what works for you. Starting the song with a slow, gentle piano, the song truly opens up later with a peppy beat, lively guitars and an anthemic melodic vibe. And with his emotion-laden vocals soaring over the notes, this tune evolves from warm sensitivity to spirited positivity.
