Breakthrough year of BBC Sound Of artist
Her real name – Holly Lapsley Fletcher – sounds like the name of a film character, but upon hearing her middle name Låpsley, we immediately know who she is. In ’15 she got to enjoy the attention that came with her nomination for the renowned BBC Sound Of poll. Radio stations instantly picked up her singles ‘Hurt Me’, ‘Falling Short’ and ‘Love Is Blind’ and her debut album ‘Long Way Home’ was welcomed with open arms.
The artist, originally from Liverpool, strikes a nice balance between electronica and minimalistic pop. A hint of The xx or London Grammar is never far gone. Earlier this year, we predicted a breakthrough year for Låpsley, and look! After a quickly sold out AB Box this spring, we’ve now rolled out the red carpet to the Main Hall. Welcome back, Låpsley!
