#soundof2015

Back in October Lapsley signed to hugely respected XL Recordings whose roster holds some of the most creative and achieving artists around. With this, and her most recent single ‘Falling Short’ flooding the Radio One airwaves, Lapsley has become one of the most talked and blogged about artists to watch in 2015 while also being shortlisted for the prestigious BBC Sound of 2015 which will be revealed on Friday.

To start 2015 off Lapsley released her new EP; Understudy delivering a sophisticated, smooth style of alternative electronic pop. While opening with the phenomenal ‘Falling Short’ the next three tracks illustrate her originality and instantly recognisable sound. ‘Brownlow’ is a minimal mellow track with swerves of electronic beats, while ‘8896’ delivers quick vocals intertwined with soft melodic piano and a driving beat. Ending with ‘Dancing’, a complete contrasting track demonstrating a heated dance floor storyline, full of dynamic tones and synths.
