Not gonna lie, Friday evening at home with a glass of wine sounds just as good as going out.

Yes, this is what this song got me thinking of. Amsterdam soulstress Noha Saré marks her debut on our blog (won't be the last time, I'm telling you) with "Hoping", a release via our friends at Vokall Records.

This impeccable blend of neo-soul and r&b has delicate vocal runs, soft pads, and punchy drums that float effortlessly into your ears - and with such a catchy vocal processing at the intro. Noha's heartfelt storytelling explores the themes of self-love & healing - something we should remember from time to time.

"A little reminder that above every layer of clouds, there’s always a sun waiting to shine her light again" is what she said about "Hoping" and I feel this is such a great way to end the work week.
