Today, London-based producer and singer-songwriter Liza Lo has shared a new single titled ‘Gipsy Hill’. The single follows her recent tracks ‘What I Used To Do’, ‘Confiarme’, which she recently released a live performance video for, and ‘A Messenger’ - her debut for independent analogue specialist label, Gearbox Records (home to Abdullah Ibrahim, Binker & Moses, Thiago Nassif, Levitation Orchestra, Graham Costello, and more).
Having recently completed a sold-out EU / UK tour with Australian indie-folk songwriter Harrison Storm as well as short UK headline run, Liza has been on a rapid word-of-mouth ascent with shows across both London and her hometown of Amsterdam. The new single follows her self-released ‘Flourish’ EP, which saw her earn widespread playlist support and early plaudits at both press and radio, for her tender and meditative take on indie-folk.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Alice Phoebe Lou, Julia Jacklin, and The Staves, Liza Lo’s sound meets an intersection where gentle folk-inspired instrumentation meets wistful indie-pop. Inspired by Liza's five-years living in South London, ‘Gipsy Hill’ focusses on the feeling of slow separation from a place that feels like home. The forlorn tracks sees Liza's stirring vocal ruminate over the top of stripped back acoustic guitar and gentle string arrangements that swell into a poignant rush of melancholy.
Speaking on the writing of the single, Liza says: "Throughout these 5 years I lost many of my close-knit relationships altered here, from true best friendship, to my parents marriage, to my own romantic love. It’s a deeply sorrowful song that describes things from my childhood kitchen, to my best friend's porch and my insular communication after coping to learn with all this change. I hope this song finds some kind of connection with people, it’s heartbreaking but I guess love is truly just everything in life and that’s why it hits home. A song for the recently brokenhearted, a song for the people that have had to get to learn to live life differently when suddenly losing their best friend to brain injury, this is Gipsy Hill."
