Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut full-length album from the uniquely talented singer-songwriter, 'Kismet' was famously championed by Tom Waits. The record is a stunningly confident and eclectic introduction, blending intricate folk-pop melodies, complex progressive pop arrangements, and a playful, theatrical sensibility. Hoop's virtuosic vocal performances and quirky, poetic lyrics immediately established her as a singular and formidable new voice.
