Molly Moore embraces things as they are ‘In Real Life’ on the upbeat title track taken from her forthcoming debut album, ‘No more highlight reels’.
Standing out on the commercial pop scene isn’t an easy feat but Molly Moore makes it look effortless. Whilst ‘In Real Life’ has a hook that wouldn’t be amiss on a Chainsmokers collab, Moore’s smouldering vocal flows through crisp 90s influences with a contemporary, alternative energy that gives her that little bit of an edge.
‘In Real Life’ is a confessional pop song seeing Moore put herself underneath the microscope in a really authentic way as she explains:
“ IRL AKA "In Real Life" has a big meaning to me right now as I've been embracing a lot of difficult truths in my own reality. It seems super easy to portray only the good things about your life to people, in person or on social media; But for me, doing that has been stifling and extremely unhealthy. After facing the death of my father at 25 and the end of a 6 year relationship shortly after, I was so vulnerable and broken that sharing my truth in every aspect has been the only way I've started to cope. Ultimately, I think everyone wants to be accepted as themselves and comfortable in their authentic form. I've given myself permission to embrace and share my scariest thoughts and experiences, even if initially it makes people uncomfortable or they can't understand, because I think it's incredibly important and our duty as human beings to have meaningful and progressive conversation”.
If you’re looking for warts n all, down to earth pop with moody sensibilities, then you should really get to know Molly Moore.
