Excited to share “Hope So,” the new single and video by Berlin-based Israeli/Moroccan artist and producer J.Lamotta released via Jakarta Records. Not your typical breakup song, the track pours lyrics from within and steeps them in heartfelt r&b and hip-hop rhythms.
Relationships rarely fall apart overnight. Usually, the process is eerily quiet, gradual, and lurks behind your shoulder for months (or years) before the actual end. Anyone who’s ever heard that inner voice whisper, intuition - a.k.a. red flag alert - knows the overwhelming vortex of emotions — the uncertainty of the future meshed with the joys of the past and greyness of the present; not quite given up on someone, not quite seeing your future with them either. It is those precise private moments with the self that J. Lamotta, female Frank Ocean, sings about in “Hope So”.
"I wrote “Hope So” about my relationship. The idea of breaking up came for the first time somewhere around Christmas 2018. I was hoping that the gaps between us are not too deep to overcome, but they started to tear us apart. My days were Aaliyah on repeat, lots of questions and tears, as I wrote the lyrics on my way from Denmark to Germany."
- J.Lamotta
