In anticipation of this Friday’s release of her incredible new ‘These Elements’ EP, Låpsley today debuts a second song from the record. Titled ‘Ligne 3’, it’s a profound love song about one specific day in Montpellier, France (the track is named after part of the city’s tram system) that saw the breakup of a longterm relationship. Alongside lead EP track ‘My Love Was Like the Rain’ (and its accompanying Camille Summers-Valli directed video), it further cements Låpsley’s standing as an equally gifted artist, songwriter and producer, and is another enticing glimpse of what fans can expect from ‘These Elements’, and from her highly-anticipated second album, due in 2020.
“I wrote it a few days after I split up with my ex-boyfriend. It’s about the complexity of a breakup and actually I wanted to paint a picture of the day that we broke up – the things that were said and what went down. It’s about the realisation that you don’t just fall out of love with someone, that’s not how life works.” Låpsley
Låpsley’s ‘These Elements’ EP will be released this Friday 6th December via XL Recordings; her first new music since the release of her acclaimed debut album Long Way Home over three years ago. The EP finds Låpsley leaving behind her teenage years and entering adulthood with a whole sense of newfound confidence, clarity and self-awareness. Four years; four elements; four songs. In Låpsley’s own words: “Emotional love, physical desire, depression and self-worth. Everything I’ve gone through in the last four years is in these four songs.” A powerful statement on womanhood, ‘These Elements’ begins to establish Låpsley as a captivating voice of her generation.
