One of the most promising voices in electro-pop, Galway native LAOISE brings us another elegantly haunting track.
After her appearances on the festival circuit this summer, (including a visit to the Hot Press Speakeasy at Forbidden Fruit) LAOISE is kicking off the autumn season with new track "Rich". Dripping with her signature synths and lilting vocals, the track focuses on a relationship tainted by wealth, with echoes of influence from Melanie Martinez and Lorde.
"Lyrically, I find I’m holding back less and less, and I feel ‘Rich’ really demonstrates that," LAOISE says proudly of the new track. "The song is about a love that’s been compromised for possessions. I’ve come across some nasty people who chose money over love and it’s made a negative impact on the people around them. I don’t deal well with someone treating me badly, and I especially don’t deal well with someone treating my loved ones badly, so the song is a screw you to the people who try to."
