Multi-talented in every sense of the word Hope D really sets the bar high for young artists. The onstage energy, the charisma, the great production, the heartfelt lyricism and the ability to spit white hot rhymes - we're smitten.
Hope D is a ubiquitous part of the growing tapestry that is the tightly-knit Brisbane music scene but we can see her exploding onto bigger stages very soon.
In spite of those societal prejudices that Hope touches on within the lyrics, there is nothing maudlin or self defeating about this song. Rather, it is full of life, with bright and bold instrumentation and a strong vocal performance. A wonderful slice of endearing and uplifting pop music from a mature and thoughtful songwriter and performer. Despite her relatively recent arrival to the Queensland music scene, Hope D has been quickly garnering herself a bit of a reputation for her live performances.
Readers will be able to see for themselves when she launches the new single with a show at The Yamaha Heya Bar in Brisbane on May 24th. Having been in the local music scene since , she has grown significantly as an artist, developing a unique music style and image which she infuses into each performance.
Her compelling and free flowing lyrics layered on looped acoustic guitar riffs makes for an infectious live show and has earned her a loyal local following. In , she busked at Bigsound which gave her further exposure and opened her up to a more advanced view of the music industry. As of , Hope broke through to the semi-finals of the Bluesfest Busking competition and recieved the opportunity to perform at the Byron Music Shop tent in the festival.
It went very well and was surprisingly packed out, regardless of the bucketing rain outside. Her latest and currently only release under Hope D is a song named 'Swim' which she honoured with a sold- out launch at Brisbane Valley's Heya Bar on May 24th Along side her, she was supported by local talent Alana, and her dear friend and band mate Bridget Brandolini. The band went on to perform at 2 Bigsound showcases, which were both very well recieved.
Hope was contracted to Select Music in July and have happily been with them since. This is the first known printing of Key's poem. Called a broadside, it was probably printed in Baltimore on Sept. Courtesy Maryland Historical Society.
Because the song extolled the national flag—a symbol of loyalty to the Union—Northerners enthusiastically embraced it as a patriotic anthem. Admission is free. Oddly enough, however, the full anthem is rarely sung. Usually the opening verse is sung twice followed by the chorus and then ends strong with a loud "Si! Stringiamci a coorte, siam pronti alla morte.
Uniamoci, amiamoci, l'unione e l'amore rivelano ai popoli le vie del Signore. Where is Victory? Let her bow down, For God created her Slave of Rome. Let us join in a cohort, We are ready to die. We are ready to die, Italy has called. We are ready to die, Italy has called, yes!
