Having spent over a year crafting her debut
solo release, Laura
Lee Lovely is delighted to announce the release date for her EP Eden as
October 6.
The concise four-track effort showcases Laura’s diversity, with upbeat
synth-pop sounds, the grooves of house music, and orchestral flourishes all
making an appearance, driven by an impressively dynamic percussive section.
Paying tribute to the synth roots that she honed as vocalist for The O’Lovelys, Laura’s
stunning voice carries the collection of songs, with her impressive range and
gorgeous tone capping off Eden in truly lovely style.
Running with the chance to explore in her solo offerings, Laura plays with
dichotomies throughout the EP. “Lately
I’ve found myself wanting to bring out the darker, broodier side of myself. I
connect with things that make me feel emotion, so writing songs like
that comes easily for me. On the flip side, I’m obsessed with fun pop
music that drives me, makes me want to dance, and makes me feel unstoppable.”
Lead single Hot Blood- track two on Eden - was met with a warm welcome from long-standing fans on its release in August.
Noted for its “daring and eclectic mix of samples and a raw recording style” (hhhappy.com), the intricate dream-pop tune
reflects the fresh direction for Laura
Lee Lovely and her solo work.
Calling the UK home for the last three years, the Christchurch native has
returned to New Zealand to embark on her new venture, setting up a home studio
to create Eden.
Collaborating with good friend and musician Simon Brouwer to record the EP, the
duo also team up on-stage to bring her complex, multi-faceted tracks to life.
Entirely written, recorded, and produced by the two-some, Eden is a strong
debut release from Laura
Lee Lovely, and a glowing sign of things to come from this
young talent.
