SXSW 2025: Hope Tala

Waterloo Records came out with their in-stores. A few Luck Reunion artists are set to play. This artist plays at 5:15pm before Brittany Spencer (6pm) on Tuesday (pre-Ray Benson's birthday).  She has a Wikipedia page, which says:

Hope Tala was born in West London to a Jamaican-descended Black father and a mother of British and Irish heritage. She learned to play various musical instruments during her childhood...Tala studied English literature at the University of Bristol. graduating with first-class honours in 2019. Tala turned down the chance to pursue a master's degree at the University of Cambridge in favor of pursuing a career in music.

Most impressively:

 Tala's All My Girls Like To Fight was listed as one of Barack Obama's favourite songs of 2020.

"Lovestained"  is her most streamed song.

I can't find any other shows she's playing, even SXSW official showcases. I do see she's playing Empire Control room on Friday April 25th.

This is Barack's song.
