LAOISE – 'Healthy'
Irish singer songwriter LAOISE shares gorgeous new single ‘Healthy’.
Born out of LAOISE’s experience with therapy, ‘Healthy’ explores healthier ways to approach life, love and relationships. Beat-driven melodies and groove-infused rhythms connect smooth verses to an irresistibly joyous chorus while her euphoric vocals make you want to dance around the house. “Writing this song felt so natural,” LAOISE says about ‘Healthy’. “I was discovering a new way of viewing the world - I spent some time offline and started listening to myself. Things like asking myself what I wanted, why I wanted the things I did and if they were really beneficial to me as a person, or if they were attempts to obtain some sort of external validation - that’s very confusing to navigate as an artist.” She adds: “It was also extremely uncomfortable calling myself out like that, but I think it worked as a great act of healing, because in the long run when you rely on others to give you validation, it stunts personal and artistic growth. Now, I’ve learned to trust my instincts and give myself what I want and need where I can. For me, that’s Healthy.”
Bright, bold and colourful, ‘Healthy’ is a glittering pop anthem. A first glimpse into new, softer, more authentic material that puts LAOISE on the map as an extremely exciting new artist.
