‘BETTER’, today’s newest release from Southport native Låpsley, is an encouragingly euphoric anthem, which duly acts as the lead single for her newly announced fourth studio album, ‘I’M A HURRICANE I’M A WOMAN IN LOVE’. Transparently detailing growth, grief and everything in between, ‘BETTER’ is an ethereal entrance not only to her upcoming album but also to the newest era in Låpsely’s musical development.

With Holly Låpsley Fletcher’s deep, velvet vocals holding centre stage, the single is spearheaded by a sheer sense of honesty. With lyrics pulled directly from Fletcher’s diary entries, ‘BETTER’ aptly details the raw and the reminiscent, the healing and the heartache, alongside the love and the loss. A combination of punchy piano chords and foreboding synths usher in the single and attentively serve to spotlight the smoky smoothness of Fletcher’s vocals. The lustre of the single increases upon each new listen, along with the mantra-like moral found at the core of the song.
