Irish singer-songwriter Alice Laffan's
is deeply rooted in the lively Traditional Irish Music Scene drawing inspiration from the rich storytelling of folk legends like Luke Kelly and Dougie MacLean.
As she explored various musical genres, she discovered a connection with the emotive songwriting of artists like Joni Mitchell and Noah Kahan. Their ability to translate raw emotion into timeless songs inspired Alice to embark on her own musical journey.
The debut single from the singer is Wait, detailing the trials and tribulations of young love, blending raw storytelling with an upbeat production.
Speaking about the track Alice says;
When bringing the song into the studio, we listened to some influences and really thought about how we wanted to present the track. The melody and chord progression of the song really ties in with the theme of resilience, so it was about representing that through the energy of the song. The track rises and falls in line with the story being told, and really does portray a feeling of triumphant resilience which hopefully listeners will identify with.
Wait is a song I wrote about navigating the ups and downs of young love under the pressure of external influences. It's about learning to be patient, resilient and trusting that things will work out if you just give it time. Knowing that sometimes, all you have to do is wait.
The single Wait is available through all streaming platforms.
