Originally from Galway, in Western Ireland, Laoise grew up surrounded by traditional Irish music. The 21 writes ambitious, frank, and dreamy pop songs which cover topics such as relationships and heartbreak, often with dark and moody, introspective undertones. Laoise (pronounced Lee-sha) pulls apart her own experiences and examines them with a gritty and impressive honesty and bravery. Laoise’s latst song, ‘Bother’ tells the very familiar story of a love gone wrong – a relationship that’s turned sour and spiteful.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201c\u2019Bother\u2019 was probably the hardest song I\u2019ve ever written, but also the quickest. I wrote it about a relationship that was ending; it had been over for quite some time actually, and it was bumping into that person a while later that made me write the song. I sat down at the piano and\u00a0within 20 minutes<\/span><\/span>\u00a0I had \u2018Bother\u2019, and it said all the things I wish I had said a long time ago.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

It was a slow piano song for a long time before we worked with the amazing producer, Chris Bubenzer, and he really helped transform this track into the confident electro-pop track that you hear now. \u2018Bother\u2019 feels like a massive cleanse for me, and I especially can\u2019t wait to perform it live.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
