Right now we’re absolutely loving ‘Between My Teeth’ - the confessional pop, sure-to-be hit from Dublin-born, London-based artist Orla Gartland. One part fiery rock, one part kitsch songwriting, one part pop banger is the recipe surely followed by Gartland while penning this smasher. Many comparisons have already been drawn between his newcomer and more familiar names like Kate Nash, St Vincent, Regina Spektor and the queen herself Stevie Nicks. Let’s come down from these lofty heights to the real and earthy context of ‘Between My Teeth’, which is a blindingly honest admission, as heard in lyrics like “you need me / I don’t need you / just admit it.” Despite these guilt-ridden words, there’s something incredibly cathartic both about these catchy lyrics, but also the bold funk guitars, vibrant percussion and especially the explosive chorus. So what’s next for Orla Gartland? Well she’ll be heading out on tour hitting Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Birmingham, London and Brighton. - Hannah Thacker
