Lavelle also shared a lyric video for ‘Sleepy Gal’, hailing from her Choice Music Prize nominated debut record Big Dreams, described by the musician as being “for the gals who love to sleep!”

'Sleepy Gal' was co-produced by Rachael Lavelle and Alex Borwick, who also engineered and mixed the track, and features Ryan Hargadon on clarinet.

The album, which was recorded in various locations between Ireland and Portugal, was rated a 9/10 by Hot Press, calling it “a wonderful effort” and adding: ““Rachael Lavelle has created a world of her own. Ghostly and ambient, her angelic voice harmonises with enough dissonance to grab one’s attention - and refuses to let go…”
