SOLIS 

IRISH-BORN & MANCHESTER-BASED SONGWRITER RELEASES HYPNOTIC NEW SINGLE:

‘SUNDAY’

Today (22nd November), Irish-born, Manchester-based singer & songwriter Solis shares the latest in a string of singles recorded at her home in Moss Side, Manchester – ‘Sunday’.

Pairing buoyant and nostalgic percussion with her classically trained, hypnotic vocal melodies, the new cut is an endearing introduction into Solis’ world of dreamlike textures and poignant lyricism. The track documents the frustration of youth, toying with the narrative of being stuck in a life that’s not really yours.

“Sunday is about always focussing on the future in the hopes that tomorrow might be better.” tells Solis. “The lyrics describe suppression in vocalising how you feel, while also feeling overwhelmed by the concept of having a time limit or age expectation for certain life experiences.

The chorus is more of recognition of this behaviour and holds excitement for a free lifestyle. It explains how sometimes life expectations can actually make you take steps backwards, rather than progressing forward if they’re not true to how you feel. “

Taking her cues from artists like Kate Bush and Jeff Buckley, whom she discovered at an early age, Solis is an artist determined to place her own touch on folk & pop music. Never one to shy away from psychedelic fluidity, her poignant vocals resonate with a melancholic charm, whilst paying tribute to her Irish heritage and classical music training.

A captivating presence on the live stage, Solis has had success playing a wide variety of shows ranging from supporting Blossoms at YES in Manchester to supporting Phoebe Green at Soup Kitchen. Other gig highlights include supporting Inhaler, Fuzzy Sun and not to mention she performed an intimate gig through Sofar Sounds in Manchester and Liverpool. Solis has also played an assortment of festivals such as Kendal Calling, Liverpool Sound City, Neighbourhood, Dot to Dot and Skeleton Coast.

‘Sunday’ - the new single from Solis is out now (22nd November).
