Based out of Tennessee, Hope Mckee is not your ordinary songstress. She possesses a powerful talent that stands out for its unapologetic authenticity. She exhibits neither pretentiousness nor slickness. She’ll tell you straight up that it’s about the music; it always is. With a richly eclectic brew that spans indie R&B, soul, jazz, and rock, there is no territory this virtuoso cannot conquer. Ultimately, she does not believe in self-limitation when it comes to creative expression. That is why she wears her non-traditional attire like a glove, stretching the limits of what is considered ordinary and expected. Deviation from the common rule, type, order, and arrangement, she reigns supreme atop the hierarchy of musical anomalies—hail McKee!
Listening to the tune “We Ain’t Missin Nothin” left me with contrasting feelings; on one side, I was incredibly happy to have stumbled upon such a masterpiece, and on the other hand, I was a bit sad that I hadn’t noticed the song earlier.
The music is undeniably addicting; this is the kind of song that plays in your dreams thanks to how hauntingly beautiful it is!
And God bless her for stretching the genre boundaries here and not sticking to cookie-cutter R&B arrangements. She has such an appropriate tune that cannot be categorized, yet she checks all the boxes!
And can I talk about those guitar chops? They are my absolute favorites, and I just keep waiting for the alluring harmonies to drop. While the techniques used to create their evocative and memorable quality remain a mystery, their impact is undeniable and ultimately, that’s sufficient.
Hope’s distinctly alluring and emotive vocals, slightly auto-tuned, slide over the track with subtle confidence and charisma, guiding the listener on a journey from one sonic sphere to the next.
The guitar chops exude a stylistic caliber of roots sound with an inescapable country feel, and as the track progresses, the powerful, runaway guitar licks add a rock dimension to the song.
“We Ain’t Missin Nothin” is so captivating that one listen ensures it will be played numerous times!
