Lydia Ford - 'Leave The Country'

Berlin based, Irish indie pop artist Lydia Ford is taking the scene by storm with her latest single 'Leave The Country' the final single release before her highly anticipated debut album 'Faking It', which drops Sept 8th. Known for her soulful melodies and introspective lyrics, Lydia Ford continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her unique sound and candid storytelling.

In her new single 'Leave The Country', Lydia Ford shares a tale of self-discovery and growth. Written during a Covid lockdown in Berlin, the song reflects on the artist's experience of moving to a new country with the hope of escaping her problems, only to realize that challenges are universal. The juxtaposition of the lively and upbeat melody with the poignant lyrics creates a captivating musical journey that is both relatable and thought-provoking. As Ford herself explains, "I wanted the song to be fun and upbeat despite the slightly melancholic lyrics - almost teasing myself for being so naive and repeatedly running away."

Lydia's debut album was born out of a collaboration with producer Sam Stevenson during Berlin's lockdown in 2021. Drawing inspiration from her personal journey and the challenges of navigating one's twenties, the album promises to be a testament to Ford's growth as an artist and her ability to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

As Lydia Ford's reputation continues to soar, her music has garnered airplay across Ireland and the UK, secured spots on popular editorial playlists on Spotify, and earned praise from notable media outlets like Billboard, Earmilk, and Uproxx. Her performances at renowned festivals such as Ireland Music Week 2022, Other Voices, and We've Only Just Begun Festival have solidified her status as a captivating live performer.
