Archive material and source history
Shopé formed in London in 2014, taking their name from the Yoruba language. The band includes singer Shola Ama, multi-instrumentalist Ben Addison, and drummer Sam Petts-Davies. Their sound pulls from indie folk and pop with ambient touches, built around Shola's vocals and Ben's arrangements.
Their 2016 debut EP 'The Things We Grow' featured the song 'When You Land,' which found an audience with its melodic reach and reflective lyrics. They followed with EPs like 'The Way Down' in 2017 and 'Bloom' in 2019. Another track, 'Nah Nah,' appears among their top songs.
In 2018, Shola spoke publicly about dealing with mental health challenges, which led the band to step back from touring for a time. Their music has been used in films and television, but they've generally kept a lower profile than some of their peers.
