Cleveland's Chayla Hope Celebrates Pride Month With New Single

Local singer-songwriter Chayla Hope just released her newest single “Falling.” Evoking her past as a drag performer, the single arrived just in time to close out Pride Month. Mixed by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Josh Gudwin (Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa), it’s an ode to the “all-too-familiar feeling of instantly connecting with someone, only to question whether or not to blame it on the alcohol.”

“Falling” follows the release of “Love in Lo-Fi.” For “Love in Lo-Fi,” Old Brooklyn’s Coffee Coffee Coffee created a specialty “Love in Lo-Fi” latte, complete with a QR code to the new single on bedazzled cups. And for “Falling,” Rood Food and Pie will feature a vegan strawberry rhubarb called called the “Falling For You.”

Recently, Hope was selected to sing the theme song for Care Bears: Unlock the Magic and has numerous features in the show’s soundtrack and merchandise, “embodying its core themes of empowerment, inclusion, and self-understanding through her music,” as it’s put in a press release.

Hope makes her live solo debut on Friday, July 22, as a part of Greyt Culture’s Golden Hour concert series.
