Music News - New Zealand Indie Pop Chanteuse Lisa Crawley Releases Video For Single 'The Right Way'
25 June 2021 - 0 Comments
New Zealand-born, indie-pop chanteuse Lisa Crawley moved to Los Angeles in early 2020, after career forays in London and Melbourne. Earlier this month, she released the single The Right Way, from the forthcoming EP Looking For Love (In A Major).
The Right Way was co-written and produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa and Rob bonded over Jon Brion, The Dresden and The Office (UK). These are just some of the iconic cultural influences that forged the creative process behind The Right Way. She premiered the highly reflective video directed by Heather Ballish that embraces awkwardness, hindsight and introspection earlier this week on RNZ Music.
“‘The Right Way’ is an absolute delicacy… Although the song may be about getting things wrong, Lisa Crawley has gotten everything right with ‘The Right Way.’ It’s an easy listen which rewards the audience with surprising depth the more they pay attention.” – Danica Bryant, Muzic.net.nz
“That moment when you think of everything you should’ve said after it’s all said & done perfectly captured in a catchy melody…an anthem for all of humanity” - BTR Today
“…an impressive peek into Crawley’s style. With a free-flowing melody dancing above a laid-back, soulful groove, the single hits a sweet spot, production-wise. And between the sheer vibes of the tune and Crawley’s transportive lyricism, the finished product is a truly communicative expression, employing rhythm, harmony and verse to depict a complex feeling.” – American Songwriter
Lisa is a four-time APRA Silver Scroll Award nominee, and was twice selected for the prestigious Banff Centre songwriter residency (Canada), where many of her notable songs were written. This week, it was announced that she was a 2021 recipient of the APRA Professional Development Awards. Read more HERE.
A natural collaborator, Lisa has worked with luminary antipodean songwriters Tim Finn, Greg Johnson and Hugo Race, and created her show “Elizabeth” with Bullet Heart Club (Daffodils). Lisa has performed her own song arrangements with the Auckland Symphony Orchestra and opened for Suzanne Vega, John Mayer, Jools Holland, Paul Weller and Simply Red. More recently, Lisa donned her acting hat to star as ‘GIRL’ in the Tony Award-winning musical Once.
Over the past year, Lisa harnessed her insatiable creative drive to write Show You What Love Is, Tragedy Boy, Clear History and See Me Soon all produced with Grammy-nominated Rob Kleiner. Lisa’s songs also graced the airwaves of US TV shows 'Nancy Drew', 'Good Trouble', 'Stumptown' and 'Proven Innocent'.
Her upcoming EP ‘Looking For Love (In A Major)’ will be released on July 23, 2021.
