Artist

Låpsley

Genre GB

Label GB

Låpsley is a British singer-songwriter and electronic music artist. She grew up in Southport, Merseyside and signed with XL Recordings in October 2014.

With her unique blend of electronic beats and soulful vocals, Låpsley has carved out a distinct sound that sets her apart from other artists. Her music draws inspiration from a variety of genres, including pop, R&B, and electronica.

Often compared to artists such as *Jack Garratt*, *Rationale*, and *Shura*, Låpsley's music resonates with listeners who appreciate thoughtful lyrics and captivating melodies. Her introspective songwriting explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth.

An independent record label, XL Recordings was launched in 1989 by Richard Russell and his team. Originally an off-shoot of City Beat Records, XL quickly became known for releasing rave and dance music. Over the years, XL has grown to become one of the leading labels in the industry, managing a roster of talented artists including *Leah Riches*, *a6001996*, and *a60243*. In 1996, XL officially incorporated and became the copyright-holder of its releases. To celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2004, XL launched their XLXV series of re-issues. Today, they continue to thrive as a pioneering force in the music world.

Back In Stock

With its gauzy melodies, sparse production and liberal use of the vocal distortion button, it's easy to see why the music of 19-year-old Stockport-raised Lapsley has drawn comparisons with James Blake's future soul. But she also has richly textured vocals and a winningly frank personality, making this uncommonly mature debut stand out in an overcrowded arena. Bitingly beautiful single 'Hurt Me' is a particular highlight.
