With a smoky voice and proficiency on multiple instruments, U.K. singer and songwriter Låpsley merges adult pop, classic soul, and quirkier, downtempo indie electronica into her sleek, reflective songs. Her full-length debut, Long Way Home, was released in 2016 and charted in ten countries. The tone remained reflective through her sophomore effort, the more textural Through Water (2020), which found her investigating 4AD's 1980s roster, and 2023's more uplifting Cautionary Tales of Youth, which gained self-acceptance in pandemic isolation.
