//Song Review\\ Amy Jo brings vibrant heart and powerful honesty with new single ‘Hypocrite (La Da Di Da)’

In a season of change and new beginnings, it can feel like there’s increased pressure to be perfect; many of us feeling like we’re stepping on eggshells when comes to sharing our hearts and vulnerabilities with peers or scared to make even one move out of fear of shame and judgement, even though many of these feelings don’t matter in the grand scheme of things and only harm those around them.

​For Morecambe Bay-based country artist Amy Jo, it is time to change that narrative in style. Her vibrant new single, and the first from her debut album, ‘Hypocrite (la di da)’, is ready to bring heartfelt musical magic and unapologetic honesty about finding your way in the world. As she says herself, ‘I’m a hypocrite, and I’m proud of it’.

From its first notes,’ Hypocrite (La Da Di Da) ’ stands tall in charm and personality, from its introspectively warm musicality of rich acoustic guitar to its soulful vocal delivery and powerfully passionate lyricism that confidently showcases Amy Jo as not only an artist to watch but also provides brilliant heart and truth at its core.  

As the track reaches its harmonious bridge featuring a hopeful-tinged choir of ‘La Da Di Da’, this track reaches a gorgeously welcoming close that truly drives home the message of the track, as well as adding a gorgeous personal touch that everyone is better united, in small actions and big ones; the perfect musical cherry on this beautiful cake. Overall, this track is the perfect hopeful remedy to a world of frequent cynicism and gloom, and a standout for Amy Jo.

This release comes at such a brilliant time for Amy Jo, off the back of the Northern Song Birds Tour alongside Bronnie, Zoe Unsworth, and Susannah Clegg, and the announcement of her debut album ‘La Da Di Da’, it couldn’t form a more perfect welcome into a passionate new musical era for this must-watch artist in the UK country music scene.
