Orla Gartland returns with new single ‘Kiss Ur Face Forever’.
The Dublin-born, London-based stole our hearts in 2021, releasing her wonderful debut album ‘Woman On The Internet’. Since then, she’s toured steadily, before taking time out to find renewed focus.
New single ‘Kiss Ur Face Forever’ continues her journey, and it looks at the twin aspects of falling in love – the thirst for connection, and also the fear of being hurt. Built with long-time collaborator Tom Stafford, it has the feel of her live shows, with its inherent urgency and bite.
Orla comments…
“This song is about being in love and split down the middle by it – on one side excited and energised, the other side cynical and withheld. I really love the erratic guitars and the urgency of the drums in this track – hearing the intro literally gets my heart rate up.”
“I wrote ‘Kiss Ur Face Forever’ with Tom Stafford (my co-producer on my first smash-hit album Woman on the Internet) and my best friend Lauren Aquilina. Lauren and I live together and have been friends for 10+ years, since we were both tiny baby popstars. We had never written together up until this point – I’m such a fan of Lauren’s songwriting that I’d always been too nervous to ask – but it finally happened and unsurprisingly it was so fun and felt almost effortless to write with someone who knows me so well.”
It’s all backed by a fun karaoke-based lyric video – tune in now.
