Her highly anticipated new single ‘The Sea’ is a melancholic reminder of Louise’s time spent living in Rome. The story behind the music is hers. Meeting strangers who become friends and lovers at a time in life when she felt free and unhinged, written about in such delicate and poetic form with the accompaniment of swelling strings and dreamy vocals makes this song a beautiful listen. ‘The Sea’ lends itself to a serene listening experience and in a calm and quiet headspace the listener will fall deeply into the streets of the eternal city with Louise.

Recorded with the talented producer, multi-instrumentalist and independent artist manager; James Wyatt, ‘The Sea’ glows with soft acoustic guitar picking and warm swelling strings, providing the backdrop for her delicate, ethereal vocals. Louise has expressed her desire to tell stories in her previous work, after taking influence from Laura Marling’s album ’Songs For Our Daughter’. Her work is crafted to create as close a connection to the listener as possible, all through her carefully written lyrics and instrumental arrangements which take essence from Sam Amidon’s work. Louise hopes that her release will give the listener the desire to take notice of the small moments, as they become the biggest in the end.

Her latest single ‘Odyssey’ was written during the pandemic, when the songwriter was triggered by a traumatic event. She confides, “Due to this unexpected and traumatic event, I was forced to confront the effects that the pandemic was having on people’s mental health, and it brought me back to my own struggles with mental health too. I guess the song is a cry out for answers and poses questions that we all ask at some point in our lives, questions that we were desperate to hear the answers to at such a desperate time in our history.”

The process of creating ‘Odyssey’ was an emotional one, with Louise feeling completely overwhelmed, defeated and frustrated. This song is an honest and cathartic track, an ode to someone gone too soon and a reminder of the hardships we have all had to face over the past few years. Described as pensive and open to plenty of interpretation, ‘Odyssey’ is beautifully melancholic, mellow and pure.

Written during a period of angst in both the songwriter’s career and personal life, the stunning lyricism proves how her songwriting is her way of healing and creating rational reason for things happening in her life at the time. Doused with sincerity and painting with no outline, her music allows for further imagination and potential, as her thought-provoking words dance atop organic instrumentation, delivering an overall raw and unfiltered atmosphere. The musician confides, “It lends itself to the security and privacy of your own safe space and encourages you to find comfort in the lyrics.”
