HEMLOCKE SPRINGS
Everyone knows one of those annoying people who’s always saying, “OMG I knew [insert artist here] way before she started blowing up.” And today, that annoying person is me. Allow me to put you on TikTok sensation Hemlocke Springs, a.k.a. Isimeme Udu. I was deep on Musictok back in May and that was when I first came across Hemlocke Spring’s first single, gimme all ur luv. Soon after that, the catchy chorus was all over TikTok, and even Bella Hadid made a video to it. Yep, Hemlocke took TikTok by storm with her eccentric vocal stylings, slightly awkward persona, and bold fashion choices. The more impressive part of it all is that Hemlocke is making all of her music in her bedroom while pursuing a full-time medical degree. Yeah…wow. She gained even more attention when she put out a snippet of her new single, girlfriend. The unique, catchy hook blew up overnight, and even Khalid did a little dance to it. The song now has over nine million streams on Spotify, and Hemlocke Springs just put out a music video for it two days ago. It’s refreshing with a nostalgic touch; it has a unique aesthetic; and most importantly, it just seems like Hemlocke is having a lot of fun. Go watch and listen!
