LA FAUTE SORRY I CAN'T STAY

‘Sorry I Can’t Stay’ comes from the mind of La Faute, a Canadian artist who is releasing her debut album today. As with all of her intriguing work, this single blends genres effortlessly, with a mixture of dream pop and folk floating to the top of the sonic palette. At its core, this is a mysterious piano ballad that exposes La Faute’s voice and lyrics, with distant electric guitar countermelodies and synth strings guiding it toward a gentle climax. On the track’s accompanying music video, she says: “This song always makes me cry so I had to focus on the bright side to get through it. All I do is try to blow bubbles in the sunshine, gigantic and small, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. They're beautiful and don't last long.” Be sure to check out La Faute’s debut album, Blue Girl Nice Day, which is out now and contains eleven great tracks. -Dan Peeke
