Essex-based singer, songwriter and producer Erin LeCount has dropped her latest single, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’. Her sound is dreamy and experimental, with the influence of Fiona Apple and FKA Twigs shining through the ethereal, alternative soundscapes. Distant, jazzy drum samples and shimmering synth work provide layers of harmonious sound to underpin her instantly recognisable voice. She describes the track as “an upbeat, yet resentful reflection on the relationships in my life that have seen me trying to ‘fix’ partners and the expectation that is often placed on young women, to be rehabilitation centres for men, perform emotional labour and temporarily fulfil a mother or therapist role rather than be a girlfriend.” Erin LeCount’s debut EP, Soft Skins, Restless Bones, drops on August 17th, 2023. -Dan Peeke
