Orla Gartland Releases New Album Everybody Needs A Hero

Orla Gartland's sophomore album, 'Everybody Needs a Hero', set to release on October 4, showcases her evolution as an artist, moving from the introspective acoustic sounds of her debut to a more dynamic and experimental pop sound. Gartland, who has built a dedicated fan base through her DIY approach and confessional songwriting, co-produced the album and crafted it with bold energy, drawing inspiration from artists like St. Vincent. The album explores the complexities of relationships, blending themes of love and confusion into its lyrics, with standout tracks like 'Little Chaos' and 'The Hit' demonstrating her unique perspective on modern romance. With a hands-on production style, Gartland aims to create a sound that balances digital innovation with an organic feel, asserting her identity beyond the traditional singer-songwriter mold. As she reflects on her journey from a young YouTube artist to a self-sufficient pop musician, Gartland embraces the emotional spectrum of human connections in her music. This album is not just a follow-up but a significant step forward for the Irish singer-songwriter, solidifying her place in the indie-pop landscape.
