Fiercely independent and undeniably brilliant, Canberra indie-folk power house Hope Wilkins has made it her mission to turn pain into pop. This October, Hope embarks on a tour to celebrate the release of “Problems”- a touching contemplation on alcohol and its role in the life of a young adult. Drawing inspiration from FLETCHER, Holly Humberstone, and Amy Shark, “Problems” marks a quantum leap in production, performance, and pure songwriting for Hope Wilkins. “Like a lot of my songs, “Problems” was written with just an acoustic guitar and a melody, but for me the standout factor that differentiates this track from my previous work is the production and instrumentation. A lot of my other work is sonically quite intimate and emotionally heavy. With “Problems”, I wanted to create something a little more upbeat that still captured my style and how I was feeling, but also exhibited a different side of me as an artist.”–Hope Wilkins
