Orlando Weeks releases his highly anticipated sophomore solo album; Hop Up produced by Bullion
. Featuring inspiring contributions from Katy J Pearson, Willie J Healey and Ben Reed (best known as part of Frank Ocean’s live band, he also played bass on the seminal Blonde
album ). Arriving in the wake of his critically acclaimed debut solo album A Quickening
, Week’s latest record once again leans into themes of new life and parenthood, but whereas his previous work catalogued the emotions, expectations and anxieties that accompany imminent parenthood, Hop Up
is an altogether more joyous and life affirming statement.
