After initially finding success in music as a singer at large-scale sporting events, a desire to make her own music led Lial to release a debut EP, ‘Heart Scars’, in 2018. On that release, she laid the foundations for a down tempo pop sound that she develops further and deeper on her latest singles – ‘Embers’ and ‘Dirty Little Lies’ – both tracks exploring the ambiguities of attraction.
Released in February, ‘Embers’ sees her describe attempting to leave a bad relationship that still as some hold over you, noting “the recognition there is something good that could have been, even as you try to draw a line under it all”.
Newly released ‘Dirty Little Lies’, meanwhile, explores betrayal and the thrill of being part of it. “Connection is an inherent part of being human and so you do anything you can to justify it while you’re in it, but part of the appeal is its forbidden nature”, she says. “Lies are enough in themselves to create a spark”.
Both tracks are taken from new EP ‘Made To Break’, which is set for release later this year. Listen to ‘Dirty Little Lies’ here:
