Orlando Weeks’ highly anticipated second solo album, Hop Up features inspiring contributions from Katy J Pearson, Willie J Healey, and Ben Reed (best known as part of Frank Ocean’s studio and live band). Arriving in the wake of his critically acclaimed debut solo album A Quickening, Hop Up 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.
