LILLA VARGEN BELIEVE ME

There’s something astonishing, ethereal and utterly beautiful about Lilla Vargen’s new song: ‘Believe Me’. Composed over the last year, ‘Believe Me’ is a slow burner which builds to an extraordinary height. It’s all synth, swirling electronics and heavy reverb – calling to mind the extraordinary landscapes of West Cork where Nick Rayner produced the track. It’s the first track we’ve heard this year from Vargen, who ended a 2017 with over two million Spotify plays on her EP Hold On and a spot on James Bay’s personal playlist! If this is the sign of things to come, 2018 is going to be even better. Check her out for yourself on February 8th where she plays Output in Belfast. -HM
