Hugo Joyce finds the silver lining in “False Hope”

Sep 27

London-based artist Hugo Joyce has just released his latest single, "False Hope." Transforming heartbreak into an uplifting and feel-good anthem, this new track from the British singer/songwriter swaps the emptiness of loss with a surge of positivity.

Opening up about the inspiration behind this empowering song, Hugo explains, "The track is basically about a breakup. I was in a relationship where my feelings weren't reciprocated, and it's about gradually realizing that the relationship just isn't sustainable. It's better to be alone than to hold onto someone who doesn’t want you. I think the song is really positive and almost motivates you to go out and get what you deserve!"

Overflowing with emotion, "False Hope" creates a fully immersive atmosphere with its smooth, heartfelt vocals layered over organic instrumentation. Hugo Joyce’s captivating sound is both comforting and familiar, while still being distinctly his own, making it a track you'll find yourself playing on repeat.
