Kildare artist April Lawlor releases her debut EP New Conditions.
Starting off as mellow bedroom recordings on SoundCloud in early 2019, April Lawlor has transformed her music into a fully developed live act, with a talent that is accessible for everyone.
Following the release of the title track in late March, 'New Conditions' is an intricate, yet bright representation of a young artist.
Easy on the ears, April's style of songwriting is minimalist, allowing her vocal talent to take centre stage. Both empowering and delicate, her voice is accentuated beautifully by the simplicity of the music behind her. Touching on topics even the most accomplished of lyricists find hard to address, Lawlor’s writing brings a touch of warmth to the hearts of even the coldest listeners. Her words, while optimistic in love, yield to her desires of introspection and finding peace within herself.
Her debut single ‘The Impossible Task Of Feeling Complete’ is a highlight of the EP. With siren-like harmonies, April’s emotional maturity shines through in these lyrics, reminding the listener that seeking direction to navigate life’s hardest paths is okay.
New Conditions is a promising EP from April, and could well be the release that solidifies her place in the world of ethereal pop.
