MY PLAYLIST – LÅPSLEY
Southport born-and-raised Låpsley has well and truly put Merseyside on the map. Since storming onto Sound Cloud as a teenager with her impeccable music productions, Holly Lapsley Fletcher now ends 2023 with 3 albums and an EU tour under her belt.
The writer and activist has taken us on a sonic evolution since her debut LP ‘Long Way Home’, with latest album ‘Cautionary Tales of Youth’ a sophisticated reflection on love, heartbreak and womanhood. Below she shares with us the tracks that have influenced her along her trajectory as one of the most exciting electronic pop artists of our generation.
“These are the most significant tracks that I feel have influenced Låpsley and shaped the sound that it is today. These songs were particularly important at the beginning of the journey and I still return to them from time to time.”
