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.

Lapsley releases her highly-anticipated second album. Titled Through Water, it’s the follow up to her 2016 album Long Way Home, one of that year’s most acclaimed debuts. Released while she was still a teenager, Long Way Home featured Låpsley’s breakthrough moments Station and Falling Short and spawned one of the biggest club tracks in recent years (DJ Koze's edit of Operator) as well as inspiring a new generation of electronically minded songwriters including Billie Eilish, who name checked it as a key influence on her sound.

Through Water is without doubt Lapsley’s most accomplished work to date, written and recorded during her transition into young womanhood. With Lapsley as the major producer and songwriter, the ten songs (whittled down from over one hundred) reflect her newfound confidence, clarity and self-awareness as an artist, documenting a wealth of personal experiences and coming-of-age stories set against a thematic backdrop of water, climate, weather and the elements.
