Cleveland-based powerhouse Chayla Hope has unleashed her latest single “Falling,” 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. Mixed by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Josh Gudwin (Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa), this dark, intoxicating earworm evokes Chayla’s past as a drag performer. Its strutting groove arrives just in time to close out Pride Month and turns any space into a runway fit for vamping. Chorus.fm, who premiered the track, called it “perfect for fans of Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa.” 

To celebrate the release, Chayla has launched a collaboration with Rood Food & Pie in Cleveland, who will offer a vegan strawberry rhubarb pie called the “Falling For You” over the next few weeks. “Falling” follows her infectious single “Love In Lo-Fi”; the song’s accompanying music video was directed by JR Strickland with choreography by Nicole Kirkland. “Falling in love will forever remind me of dancing,” says Chayla of the video’s inspiration. “Whether it’s with a person, yourself, or your dreams, when you’re in it, your pain disappears and you get to enjoy the feeling of being alive.” Both singles will appear on her forthcoming debut LP Damn, Feelings, set for release in late 2022.
