Single: orla - 'breathe'

orla - breathe


orla is an 18 year-old independent musician / producer from Meath who released her debut single, 'dream' (below), at the start of the year, followed quickly by latest release 'breathe' which she shared yesterday. With a modus operandi based on ambient and downtempo movements, both tracks are impressively accomplished from the newcomer. 'breathe' is delicately subtle and unassuming, flowing synths and a chirpy beat converge and a delicious bass line joins the fray at 1:44.



'dream' follows that nonchalant gaze as well, it's lathered in chill and also contains elements of 80's synth-pop. Although it's early doors for orla, there is a competency to the structure and delivery of both tracks that can only leave you pondering the possibilities for such a young artist at this stage of their musical journey.
