LISTEN: On ‘Hot Blood,’ Hope Vista Holds Nothing Back
Over a haunting industrial pop backdrop, Hope Vista pulls no punches on her new single.
Titled “Hot Blood,” the single is a representation of Vista’s signature knack for autobiographical songwriting that, even by today’s transparent standards, is refreshingly raw and honest. Vista addresses the theme of carrying trauma as an unwanted personality trait, delivering hypnotic verses supported by an enchanting “phantompop” soundscape hallmarked by heavy synths and a trap beat.
Perhaps what we appreciate most about “Hot Blood” — and Vista’s artistry as a whole — is her ability to transform intrusive thoughts and unsettling events into an art form; one which connects us back to the humanity behind traumatic experiences and, perhaps, will encourage others to share their stories.
