Molly Burman's first EP, 'Fool Me With Flattery', will be released August 20th via Prolifica Inc.
19-year-old London-based, Irish-raised artist Molly Burman has announced her debut EP, Fool Me With Flattery, and has shared her second single 'Everytime' to accompany the great news.
Burman made a striking first impression last month with her debut single 'Fool Me With Flattery', and has followed it up with a further slice of empowering, woozy slacker-pop.
Effortlessly melodic and gutsy, Molly had a specific vision in mind when it came to her first project.
"'Everytime' is about my sad excuse for a love life," Burman says of the new track.
"I used to be so obsessed with dating and getting validation from guys, but they just kept ghosting me. It got to a point where I realised I needed to accept that I was going to be on my own for a while and might as well start loving my own company. It’s like a sort of love letter to myself, always there to remind me that I am enough and I am exactly what I want."

'Everytime' is paired to a video from her friend and collaborator Harvey Frost, who created the setup in Brighton. It backs up the homespun, bedroom-pop feel to Molly's music, beginning from their home bedroom.
A collection of songs she has written over the last couple of years and co-produced at home alongside her father, Burman's Fool Me With Flattery EP will be released on August 20th.
"These songs explore the themes of being deceived and disrespected and the EP follows my journey from craving acceptance from others, to finally accepting myself. I feel like I've grown a lot with this EP and I hope that others can relate to this journey too," Molly explains.
Growing up in an inherently musical family, with both parents gigging musicians, the young artist's Irish mother sang with Shane MacGowan of The Pogues. Her father also performed in bands alongside members of Bow Wow Wow and Sex Pistols, no less.
Molly began prodigiously writing and recording music herself from her mid-teens, self-producing her own material and writing ever-personal lyrics that have been never anything less than an unflinching, honest take on her life at that point.
Her forthcoming EP will mark a surefire introduction to her sound, with live shows set to follow. Check out the video for 'everytime' below:
