    It’s an absolute treat. Littered with innumerable highlights and demonstrating a remarkable consistency across its 16 tracks.
  2. The run time might seem a tad lengthy to some, but it would prove hard to tire from a voice as listenable as Tala’s.

    Full of heart and introspective, candid lyricism, ‘Hope Handwritten’ is an overall uplifting offering, an ode to navigating the joys and messiness of falling in and out of love, and finding one’s inner strength through the chaos.

    It feels a missed opportunity that tracks about religion and mental health (Magic or Medicine) and knee-trembling, earth-shaking romances (Shiver) should share the same level-headed delivery, and that a mid-album trio of love songs blur too easily together.
