“Exceptional…‘Nothing’ has no faults…take it for a ride, you will come out smiling a little more.” - Blast Out Your Stereo

The talented, American singer-songwriter Ron Pope returns to the UK with ‘Nothing’, ‘the perfect break up song’ (Infectious Magazine), a touching duet recorded with up-and-coming Leeds based singer Hannah Trigwell. A heartfelt ballad of a broken down relationship, ‘Nothing’ is painfully relatable, elegantly written and blends Pope’s distinctively raspy vocal with Hannah’s delicate voice. Described as ‘beautifully moving’ by Soundcheck, ‘Nothing’ is one of Pope’s ‘stand-out’ tracks (Fortitude Magazine).

Ron Muses, "I stumbled upon Hannah Trigwell through the suggestion of a friend and immediately knew her voice would be the perfect addition to the song. I love how it turned out and I'm thrilled to bring her on tour this summer!” This special UK edition of ‘Nothing’ is the title track on Pope’s new EP released July 20th, which also features a Memoryy remix of popular single ‘Lick My Wounds’ and a cover track – Ron’s own take on LCD Soundsystem’s, ‘New York, I love You But You’re Bringing Me Down’.

With over 1.5 million singles sold, achieving nationwide success in the US as well as internationally, Pope is one of the highest selling independent artists on the music scene today. His music has had over 100 million views online and his songs have been streamed over 36 million times through Spotify - displaying Pope’s credentials as a supremely talented musician.

Pope is much more than the labels and stereotypes he’s acquired during his budding career, Toast Magazine describe him as the ‘American musical-everything’: Recording artist. Musician. Rock star. Guitar player. Songwriter. Vocalist. Performer.  He is a musical Renaissance Man, writing, composing, recording, producing, managing, and igniting his own career. In an ever-evolving industry, Pope has plotted a new course for his music by launching himself as an independent artist to reach loyal listeners by taking the industry-road-less-travelled.

In support of the single and EP Ron Pope sets off on a 6-date UK tour, starting in Nottingham on July 19th and closing in Leeds on July 25th. Ron will also be performing at a special, intimate gig to launch ‘Nothing’ on July 1st at Oslo in Hackney, London, where Hannah will be joining him on stage.
