Freya Beer releases deceptive single, "False Hope" ahead of extensive autumn headline dates.
With Jekyll and Hyde-like arrangements, that veer from Beabadoobee-esque bubblegum/pop to blistering Garbage-style grunge/rock in the thump of a heartbeat; the single arrives as a thrilling curve-ball from London’s rising Gothic-pop chanteuse.
With a subject matter as deceiving as its devious melodies,
Freya says of “False Hope”:“
“False Hope” is about coming across individuals who promise the world to you but fail to present. It’s a song about picking yourself up after you come across ‘flaky’ characters.”
Recorded in Colchester, the track is Freya’s latest collaboration with producer Tom Donovan, notable for his work with Miles Kane. “False Hope” swiftly follows Freya’s recent 4-track EP release ‘Tatianna’ (out now on vinyl and digital, and follows a summer of festival dates at the likes of Y-NOT Festival and FYA Festival.
Making 2024 her own, Freya supported punk poet Dr John Cooper-Clarke on his spoken word tour around the UK, with Beer receiving the unique opportunity to perform her own poetry at the iconic London Palladium.
