      London artist Hope Tala has released a powerful new track titled ‘Magic Or Medicine’.

      "‘Magic or Medicine’ was the final piece of the puzzle for ‘Hope Handwritten’ – the last song I created for the album. This track is fundamentally an honest dialogue I'm having with myself regarding the mental health challenges I faced while creating the album. While it addresses struggle, like much of the record, it’s underpinned by hope."
