ORLA GARTLAND I GO CRAZY

“Three words; two hearts; one maybe / say something before I go crazy now,” is a line you’ll have circling around your mind after listening to the delightfully catchy single ‘I Go Crazy’ from promising new voice Orla Gartland. This piece of feisty alt-pop fuels Gartland’s real life frustration into hooky guitar lines, head-bopping drums and her honest lyricism. As the London-via-Dublin artist herself explains: "It’s about telling someone you love them for the first time and not hearing it back. Bad times. I went into the studio the next day so fired up and channeling the emotion into the track was cathartic. It captures a moment where I was truly at breaking point.” Produced by The Usual Suspects (Sean Genockey and La Roux’s Ben Langmaid), ‘I Go Crazy’ is a much needed dose of everyday realism that we’re missing in the pop scene right now. - Hannah Thacker
