Hila

Hila reclaimed her autonomy with her trailblazingly moody twist on bubblegum pop, Sorry?

After thriving through 2022 with her extensively playlisted singles, Easy to Lose Control and Thoughts Out Loud, the alt-pop sensation, Hila is delivering vindication hand over inexplicably talented fist in her latest single, Sorry?

The moody pop instrumentals following the staccato guitar prelude contrastingly illuminate the shimmering soul that spills from her dreamily pitch-perfect vocal timbre to the nth degree as the lyrics capture the evocative complexity of relationships that leave you doubting your self-worth before you arrive at the epiphany that people beneath you will always drag you down to their depraved depths.

With both of Hila’s previous 2022 singles reaching the 300k+ stream mark on Spotify alone, if any breakthrough artist is going to make 2023 their own, it’s Hila. The strength of her sonic palettes could carry her alone; with her proclivity to dig deep lyrically to help her growing fanbase grapple with their own anxiety and heartbreak, she’s worth her weight in gold. What Gwen Stefani was to the 90s, Lila is to the 21st century.

Sorry? Officially released on December 27th, it is now available to stream on Spotify.

Seattle-based pop artist Hila wants to be taken to paradise on ‘Thoughts Out Loud’

Returning with her 4th single, Hila wonders if this relationship will end like the others or be something different and long-lasting as her hungry heart desires that special love after many disappointments with ‘Thoughts Out Loud‘.

Hila is a fast-emerging Seattle, Washington-based indie-pop solo singer-songwriter who makes the type of music that is lyrically honest and is vocally superb.

She wants to inspire people to follow their dreams, and to believe in themselves no matter what obstacles they face in life.” ~ Hila

Showing us into a world that so many feel right now as the various emotions of the past two years have traumatized so many, Hila sings with an effortlessly-seeming style that is quite exquisite and has you wondering if she will soon find that lover who has her back no matter what.

Thoughts Out Loud‘ from Seattle, Washington-based indie-pop solo singer-songwriter Hila, is a love-filled single from a romantic soul who just wants to find that fairytale courtship. After being let down so many times before by greedy ex’s who just wanted a piece of her, we find a young woman who sounds ready and wants this special feeling so badly. Feeling content and not anxious anymore while being held close, is something that is on her mind and is eloquently expressed on this sweet pop single.
