Brisbane’s Hope D has today dropped the playful and eye-catching video for her latest single ‘Happy Hangover‘, which she co wrote with close friend G Flip. She’s also hitting the stage for a handful of shows in her home state of Queensland at the end of this month, tickets and more information HERE.

The video was directed by animator Bonnie Forsyth and Hope explains how they came to work together, “I was so excited to record the video clip for ‘Happy Hangover’. It was originally going to be a really funny and whacky in-person clip, but because of COVID, I thought an animated video would be super fun! I was on the lookout for someone to make the video with limited time and I had found Bonnie Forsyth’s contact in my notes when I was scrolling through. I had met Bonnie after my Sydney EP tour show and she came up to me after the gig and told me she was an animator and gave me her details. After finding her Instagram, I knew she would be PERFECT. She absolutely nailed everything that I wanted the clip to be.”

Hope also goes on to explain that the video also features some of her favourite faces, “It features super fun animations with G-flip, my band mates, my partner Bridget, my manager (Ruby), and Happy Hangover‘s producer and co-writer Aidan Hogg! It also features me nomming on all my favourite hungover snacks. So proud of Bonnie for turning over this mammoth of a job so quickly, and I couldn’t be more stoked. You never know who you’ll meet when you’re lit!”

‘Happy Hangover’ has already received a full addition on triple j, bagging the honour of the #1 most played song on the station for multiple weeks running. The track has also received praise from the likes of NME, Purple Sneakers & Tone Deaf.

Introducing herself in late 2019 with her debut single ‘Swim’, Hope D captivated audiences with her eclectic capability to create purposeful, confessional and captivating music. This release led her to taking home the inaugural Queensland Music Awards Emerging Artist Of The Year, performances at BIGSOUND 2019, Splendour In The Grass, Laneway Festival and King Street Crawl, as well as sold-out headline shows in her hometown Brisbane.

The beginning of 2020 saw her release an aptly titled second single named ‘Second’ and then follow up tracks ‘Common Denominator’ and ‘Miscommunicate‘, once again wowing and surprising fans by her change in sound, but maintaining the same inviting charm and razor-sharp wit through her authentically honest, raw and relatable songs. Hope ended 2020 by winning the prestigious Carol Lloyd Award, an initiative aimed to address the gender imbalance in music and support an emerging female-identifying or non-binary singer-songwriter.

Hope’s single ‘Second’ landed #69 in triple j’s Hottest 100 for 2020. Off the back of her debut EP Cash Only, Hope took off on a sold out national tour playing 19 shows in 3 weeks of March 2021. The single ‘Addict’ received a full addition to triple j and Hope was widely praised for her cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ she performed for Like A Version, earlier this year.
