LAOISE Releases New Single ‘Shooting’
Speaking about Shooting LAOISE said,
Shooting is probably my favourite track off the EP. In comparison to the other songs, it’s quite bare and raw. When writing it, I feel I got to delve into new territories and emotions, which is echoed in the song’s lyrics. I wrote this song with a friend of mine, and we were both going through similar experiences where no matter what we did, we felt we couldn’t grasp and take hold of the things we wanted - be it a relationship or a career path. ‘Shooting with no ammo’ explains the effort you go to finally reach something, only to realise you messed up on the first step, and starting again doesn’t always feel worth it. It’s that moment when you feel so trapped and lost, going around in circles over and over and wondering if you’ll ever break the cycle.
LAOISE was inspired to write the EP when she was at a halfway point in
her recovery from mental and physical difficulties, hence the title Halfway.
This resulted in LAOISE experimenting with various genres and sounds as
she began to rebuild and reinvent herself along with her music.
Taking her cues from the silky production of acts like NAO, Melanie Martinez and Skott- LAOISE is an Irish electro-pop artist hailing from Galway, Ireland. Incorporating elements of synth, indie and alternative, she was brought up on a diet of theatrical, iconic pop – and deeply inspired by household names like Kate Bush and David Bowie – setting her in good stead to create the startling, sparkling pop she presents to us today.
