Dark-pop breakout, Summer Hoop, has today released her brand new track "Mindlessly", a haunting, yet energetic anthem that reframes obsession into scripture. Moving between alternative, pop-rock, and metal, "Mindlessly" is Summer Hoop's debut to Oxide Music, introducing her as a powerful new addition to the label's growing roster. Fans can listen to "Mindlessly" BELOW.
Plunging into the disorienting pull of obsessive devotion, "Mindlessly" weaves themes of martyrdom, sacrifice, and salvation to capture the feeling of losing yourself entirely to someone else. With vivid lyricism, Summer Hoop traces the tension between worship and self-destruction, hopelessly following a lover while recognizing the damage that is to come.
Tapping into the darker impulse of "Mindlessly", Summer Hoop shares:
"“Mindlessly” is about me having a blind devotion to somebody, kind of as if they were this beautiful corrupt religious leader. I would let a beautiful person RUIN ME. If you’re sexy and a smooth talker you don’t have to care about me at all I’m going to drink the kool aid and worship you “Mindlessly”."
On signing yet another standout act, Andrew Wetzel, founder of Oxide Music, shares:
"We are absolutely ecstatic to add yet another amazing artist to the Oxide Music family and we look forward to helping Summer continue to build her story."
Sitting at the intersection of glossy pop hooks and darker, heavier undercurrents, Summer Hooppositions herself as a distinct new voice for fans of Poppy, Maggie Lindemann, and PVRIS. With a growing catalog and a bold artistic identity rooted in the contrast of beauty and chaos, Summer Hoop is quickly carving out a space of her own in the alternative landscape.
Following today's release, Summer Hoop will hit the road this fall supporting Icon For Hire in Florida and Nate Vickers across five US dates.
