Today, London-based producer and singer-songwriter Liza Lo has shared a new single titled “Confiarme.” The single follows her recent track "A Messenger", which marked 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, 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 Daughter, Maro, and Billie Marten, Liza Lo’s sound meets an intersection where gentle folk-inspired instrumentation meets indie-pop. Recorded live at her guitarist's studio with additional production from Chris Hyson (Jordan Rakei) and Jon Kelly (Paul McCartney, Kate Bush), the new single sees Liza singing reposeful vocals in Spanish over soft fingerpicking. Fragile and crystalline piano lines flitter underneath the arrangement with ethereal backing vocals lifting the track as it ebbs and flows with intensity.
Speaking on the single, Liza says: "I wrote ‘Confiarme’ after I spent a week with my dear friends Andry Kiddos, Dwara, Khotton Palm and Oddliquor in the North of Spain. They reminded me what trust in self and each other truly means. We were all taking a small break from creating music and spending time together was a needed check-in on ourselves and a reminder that believing in ourselves is fueled when you take a break with the right people. They showed me pure friendship and trust after a time in which I really doubted myself and had recently ended a relationship. It’s easy to fall into a loop of second guessing yourself and feeling like you did the wrong thing, trusting yourself and your decisions is something that doesn’t come naturally to me, this song is my own pure reminder for that. ‘Confiarme’ translating to trust in oneself. It’s easy to believe you’re unworthy in life, friendship can make life truly meaningful and help you buckle up for this ride we’re on.. Friendship that grew from unapologetic laughter, tears of happiness and pure understanding of each other’s habits, differences and similarities. ‘Confiarme’ is my written reminder that to trust yourself in life is to truly feel free."
Liza Lo will also play a short run of dates across the EU and UK over the next two months.
