Patricia Lalor first gained an audience performing covers on YouTube as a pre-teen. Her talent for performing apparent early on, Hozier called her version of his song 'Cherry Wine' "hands down, one of the best covers I've ever seen". A few years on, she's now writing her own music with a dreamlike, atmospheric indie-pop sound.
Earlier this month she released 'Sleep Talk', the first in a series of five songs she's putting out in the coming weeks. "This is a song I wrote about a dream I had, hence the name 'Sleep Talk'", she said at the time.
"For the video", she added, "we wanted a place where we could use the projector my mum bought, so we rented a room from our local cinema, brought my brother along and filmed some 'scenes' with popcorn, skateboards and projectors. It was great! I edited it on good old iMovie, it was glitchy but it did the job".
'Sleep Talk' was followed on Friday by 'Words I Have To Say', which maintains the level of quality set by the previous track, as well as holding on to that homemade feel. "I wrote this song on GarageBand and I particularly love it because of all the harmonies", she says. "Hope people enjoy it".
