Wally Hoak: Hard Feelings
Brooklyn-based prince of dark pop strikes again with ‘Hard Feelings’.
After his successful 2020 debut, the Brooklyn-based bedroom pop songwriter, artist and producer, Wally Hoak continued the interpersonal story introduced in his previous singles through his stylishly powerful electro pop release, Hard Feelings.
With the Weeknd, Halsey, Dua Lipa and Lorde influencing Hoak’s dark pop edge, there is instant magnetic accessibility to Hard Feelings, despite the harrowingly honest confessional lyrics that introduce Hoak’s demons, regrets and resilience.
Atop of the driving urban-pop beats lies Hoak’s harmonic pop vocals which push emotion to the forefront of the fiercely melancholic release.
“This song is how I feel most of the time; the message is that sometimes we make decisions knowing the consequences, and we still go through with it - no matter how much it will ultimately hurt us and lead to hate, rage, and heartache. Usually, I’m outspoken, except on the subject of my feelings; just like the song says, I want to be left alone with my feelings.” - Wally Hoak
