‘Let’s Make Plans For The Weekend’ is three minutes of disco-infused, classic pop euphoria. Built on a deep bass groove, shimmering synths and chic-inspired guitars, it sits somewhere between the glossy bite of ‘Chewing Gum’-era Annie and the brat energy of countless 90s pop princesses.

Featuring guest vocals from MALKA (Hen Hoose), the track snaps to the beat with playful precision – all butterfly clips, glitter gel and playground mythology – capturing the kind of magnetic, larger-than-life energy you wanted to be part of. It’s a frosted lipstick kiss with smeared mascara: lights flashing, hands in the air, sticky floors, and the promise of escape when Friday finally hits.

Tongue firmly in cheek and glasses raised high, it’s a celebration of late nights, friendship, and the weekly ritual of letting go.

On the song Carla says: “I love this song so much. I knew the album was leaning more guitar indie-pop, but I couldn’t not include this. Me and my friend Pedro Cameron (Man of the Minch) wrote and demoed it in two hours, we’re both massive fans of Kylie Minogue and Girls Aloud. We wanted to write something that celebrates friendship, dancing, and that feeling you chase every weekend after a hard week.”

I Think That I Might Love You marks a meaningful new chapter for Easton: a pop record at its core, but her first built primarily around the guitar. The album grew out of her work on Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands, during which women repeatedly told her how they picked up an instrument, learned a few chords, and jumped headfirst into making music. Having long centered her own career around keys, across four solo albums, her bands TeenCanteen and Poster Paints, and as part of The Vaselines’ live lineup, Easton felt compelled to follow that same instinctive leap.

Produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolf Parade, Leonard Cohen, The Weather Station), the album finds Easton collaborating closely with friends old and new, resulting in an album that feels both natural and transformative. The new album was inspired not only by her time making the Since Yesterday film, but also by her work within Hen Hoose, the Scottish songwriting collective that unites a diverse array of female and non-binary artists, writers and producers to create new work collaboratively. As such, I Think That I Might Love You includes a number of co-writes across its eleven new songs, including Simon Liddell (Frightened Rabbit, Poster Paints), Hen Hoose’s MALKA (Hen Hoose), Glasgow’s Man of the Minch, Canadian singer-songwriter Brett Nelson, and cult hero Darren Hayman of Hefner.
