Liang Lawrence - 'Use Me'
London based singer songwriter Liang Lawrence explores female desire on new track ‘Use Me’.
The track captures Liang’s penchant for relatable, compelling lyricism and a prowess for painting intricate emotions with words.
Liang comments on the track, “I was going through a period of sleeping with people I knew weren’t good for me, drinking too much and was essentially getting myself hurt but I think I almost found it empowering in some ways. I don’t think I felt like I was doing anything else ‘right’ at the time, so the sentiment of it was ‘at least you can use me for sex’ and we can both feel better about things. I struggle a lot with feeling sexy as a woman and I think it largely comes down to the fact that I’ve never really resonated with the things that are traditionally feminine and seen as ‘for sexy women’. It’s still something I’m trying to navigate and understand but I think writing this song was really empowering in knowing that there is power in exploring and not knowing exactly what you’re doing or how you feel about something just yet”.
‘Use Me’ follows previous single ‘Eulogy’ which has seen support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing and Radio X to date. Her other recent achievements include a standout performance BBC Introducing at The Lexington alongside Alfie Templeman and Siobhan Winifred, plus support to Alfie Jukes at a handful of UK shows, alongside a recent live run in her homeland China supporting Honne. Additional shows are in the works for later this year and will be announced soon.
