Louise Cappi "Hope"

New Orleans-based singer/songwriter is out with a new track titled "Hope." From the opening groovy bassline, I was captivated... then, Ms. Cappi starts to sing - a deep soulful alto ruminating on the title of her track, stating "Hope is a song in the night." There is more than a little gospel attitude to the song - but there is so much that's cool going on here. I'm in love with the thick chords that chime in around the 1-minute mark, which Louise has no trouble navigating with her pitch-perfect vocals. 

"Hope" is uplifting, and were it not for the soul-quality of the track, I would say, was almost new-agey. For you listeners, the mood of the song might even be something akin to the sound of a nightclub, but Louise Cappi's message goes far beyond the smokey speakeasies of the past. It's a message that is much needed in today's political climate, and she's an artist that is equally necessary.
