Hope Tala: Listener Q + A

Singer-songwriter Hope Tala answers listener questions in this Q&A episode of the podcast. Listeners ask Hope what she wouldn't change about the music industry, who her dream collaborator is — her answer is Kendrick Lamar, whose album To Pimp a Butterfly she wrote her university dissertation on — and how she navigates the pressure to post constantly on TikTok when she'd rather be writing. She also shares the message a stranger sent her ten years ago about a song she'd put on SoundCloud that made her realise making music might be her purpose — a message about grief, and a moment of peace — and why she still remembers it now. This is a conversation about what keeps a creative going — and why it's almost never the things you'd expect. 🎥 WATCH the full episode HERE 📘 Buy Freya's novel: A Real Piece of Work 💛 Follow @freybromley on Instagram for updates and to ask your questions 📚 Join Freya's newsletter at freyabromley.substack.com for behind the scenes thoughts 🎙️ And hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts Hosted on Acast.

Singer-songwriter Hope Tala answers listener questions in this Q&A episode of the podcast.


Listeners ask Hope what she wouldn't change about the music industry, who her dream collaborator is — her answer is Kendrick Lamar, whose album To Pimp a Butterfly she wrote her university dissertation on — and how she navigates the pressure to post constantly on TikTok when she'd rather be writing. She also shares the message a stranger sent her ten years ago about a song she'd put on SoundCloud that made her realise making music might be her purpose — a message about grief, and a moment of peace — and why she still remembers it now.

This is a conversation about what keeps a creative going — and why it's almost never the things you'd expect.
