Newcomer Hope Douds is here to shake up the country music world. This singer-songwriter is releasing her debut single “Bloomin'” on 7.26.24. You can find the single when it releases here, and connect with Douds on her website.
Hope teamed up with her Nashville producer Parker Howard who is working with her in creating her vision of bringing her songwriting and vocal vision to life.
Though fresh to the scene, in “Bloomin’” Douds expertly builds a dreamy and wistful sonic landscape with the mellow sounds of a guitar accompanied by a soft drum beat. On top of this euphonic sound is Hope’s gentle voice singing of the typical small town girl who is actually way more than meets the eye. She’s a “fairytale as old as time / with depth in between the lines / a beautiful mystery.” Listeners learn more as Hope sings “her dreams become reality / she works so hard / to earn her thangs / her heart is always in the right place.”
Hope is letting us know loud and clear that she is a complex woman that is just getting started. All we can do is “watch her bloom…”
Not only is she authentically a true southern belle but she pays homage to the authenticity of Johnny Cash and celebrates the sweet and giving nature of her music icon Dolly Parton. Hope has been singing her entire life. Her passion was fostered and inspired by her mother who lead worship and church choirs. Hope grew up participating in choir, musical theater, and show choir. Growing up in Georgia, this southern belle grew up surrounded by cattle farms, the suburbs, and the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Her passion for writing has lent itself to her songwriting as she found a true love and passion for musical expression. A classically trained vocalist, Hope pursued a degree in musical performance in college.
Hope is not just a creator but an entertainer who has graced the stages of Sonny’s Songsmith’s Takeover, Cabana Taps Tuna Bop, Nashville Tour Stop live with Eryn Cooper,The Bowery Vault, and Winners Nashville New In Town Special. Bloomin’ is set to release on July 26, 2024. Hope says, “This is my debut comeback” leading into the release of music from her upcoming album.
