WE SAY

It’s been three weeks since we introduced you to Donegal-born, Dublin-based singer-songwriter Lara Sweeney-Doherty, aka LARAbEL and her beautiful ‘Pigeon Song’. Having garnered tastemaker support from Spotify (Fresh Finds UK & IE, and A Breath of Fresh Eire), Hotpress, District, Goldenplec, and Dublin City FM, among others, the 23-year-old artist has just released her third single, ‘Westcoast’, from her forthcoming debut EP ‘Squiggle’. Effortlessly capturing the bittersweet swirl of a fleeting summer romance, the track wraps introspective lyricism in breezy, sun-drenched pop. Equally at home on indie pop playlists and across BBC Introducing, 6 Music or Radio 1’s evening slots, ‘Westcoast’ is another confident step forward from an artist finding her voice—and using it to say something that lingers.
