Hope Tala Releases "Magic Or Medicine"

Today's the premiere of Magic or Medicine—the final single from Hope Tala before her debut album, Hope Handwritten, drops on February 28, 2025 via PMR Records. This standout track perfectly captures the reflective spirit of Hope’s writing, evoking the magic of a first date and those rare moments when time seems to stand still.

Alongside the premiere, Hope Tala announces her highly anticipated global headline Hope Handwritten Tour, set to kick off in April across the US and continuing with an EU/UK leg later in the year—highlighted by a major headline show at KOKO in London this November. Tickets for the tour go on sale on February 26, 2025 at 10am local time. Listeners can also pre-save her upcoming album and stream Magic or Medicine on Spotify.

The Heart of Hope Tala

“Magic or Medicine was the final puzzle piece of Hope Handwritten – the last song I wrote for the album. This track is an honest conversation about my struggles with mental health, yet it’s ultimately informed by hope,” shares Hope Tala. A 27-year-old West Londoner now splitting time between London and LA, Hope Tala has made her mark with intimate, poetic soundscapes that resonate with authenticity. Inspired by icons like Lauryn Hill and Maya Angelou, her music is a warm, inviting space where listeners feel both soothed and seen.
