Hello Stranger

**Hello Stranger** is a Chicago-born indie pop/rock duo made up of sibling collaborators who mix throwback soul grooves with modern alt-pop sensibilities. Emerging in the late 2010s, they’ve carved out a nostalgic yet fresh sound defined by warm harmonies, breezy guitar licks, and lyrics that balance romantic yearning with laidback confidence. Recent tracks like “Take Your Time,” “Stick Around,” and the shimmering “Soul Tide” showcase their knack for blending Motown-inspired rhythms with contemporary production flourishes, landing them comparisons to acts like Lake Street Dive and Durand Jones & The Indications. While they keep their personal backstory relatively low-key, their music speaks volumes—a sun-soaked soundtrack for slow dances and porch hangs alike.
