Zimbabwe-born, Manchester-based artist Lei Hope has revealed his new single, ‘LITTLE SIGN’. It’s a woozy, groovy track filled with soul. Some sections are built on a swung, bouncy rhythm, while others allow the texture to open up and give space for his enigmatic voice to truly show itself. “I think I just needed a reset,” he explains. “Coming back to Manchester after travelling gave me space to reflect. ‘Little Sign’ was the first song I made in that headspace and it set the tone for everything that followed.” Hope’s new EP, Inertia, is set for release on July 23rd, 2025, via Heist or Hit. -Dan Peeke
