Berlin-based songwriter Fake Laugh has shared a thoughtful new single ahead of his upcoming tour with Girl Ray. 'Better For Me' is the first taste of new material from the British-born musician since his brilliant self-titled 2017 album. With trusted collaborator and fellow multi-instrumentalist Theo Verney taking on production duties, 'Better For Me' is a laid-back slice of impressive indie-pop, which mulls over the pros and cons of committing to a long-term relationship. He explains, “The song entertains the idea that it might be favourable to ride solo. It’s obvious to think of it in the context of a romance, but it could be about any kind of relationship really. I think there’s also some acknowledgement that deciding to go it alone is a bit of a lazy cop-out. It kind of celebrates and laments loneliness at the same time.” -HLMX
