Long Way Home (Vinyl)
Southport-raised, London-based singer, songwriter and producer Holly “Låpsley” Fletcher releases her highly-anticipated debut album ‘Long Way Home,’ via XL Recordings / Remote Control Records.
The twelve track album features new versions of her previous acclaimed releases “Hurt Me,” “Falling Short,” “Painter” and “Station,” as well as brand new single “Love Is Blind.”
‘Long Way Home’ documents a turbulent time in Låpsley’s life — a period in which she revelled in her new-found music career as it took her from Liverpool to London to Los Angeles and back again. “It’s an autobiography of my emotions and events over the past year,” she says.
Låpsley’s determined views on her own production have ensured her involvement in every element of these songs — a fact that in the early days seemed to confuse many of the producers she met. “They didn’t want to listen to me,” she says, “or they think a girl’s just there to add a top line, or they come to the table with ideas already. Straight away if I come in to a studio and someone says ‘I’ve written something for you,’ then I’ll just walk out. I don’t care. I’m not there for that.”
