Dylan Cartlidge - Hope Above Adversity (Album)

Dylan Cartlidge, Redcar’s alternative hip-hop and indie crossover rising star has shared his debut album, the uplifting ‘Hope Above Adversity’, inspired by Dylan’s incredible story of embracing positivity following overcoming the adversity and trauma he faced in his childhood. The album drops with latest single ‘Dare To Dream’.

Hope Above Adversity’ also features Dylan’s 2021 singles, all of which were premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, ‘Molasses (Walk The Walk)’, ‘Anything Could Happen’ and ‘Hang My Head’ and features collaborations with Ed Irwin-Singer (Glass Animals) and Eg White (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith).

Speaking on the album, Dylan said; “My trauma and adversity in childhood made me feel voiceless and destined for the worst. One day, I decided to use my experiences to create the hope for others that I so much lacked. My first album, ‘Hope Above Adversity’, is my voice. It is an artistic statement of post traumatic growth and overcoming adversity through holding on to hope. Created alongside world class producers and engineers such as Eg White, James Dring, Dan Parry and Ed from Glass Animals, ‘Hope Above Adversity’ is just the beginning of my story.”
