Låpsley previews new album with fourth outing “Hotel Corridors”

“Hotel Corridors” will appear on Låpsley’s upcoming third album with earlier singles “Smoke and Fire”, "Dial Two Seven" and "32 Floors", and is, in Låpsley’s own words, a "metaphor for the unexpected twists and turns of career opportunities, friendships and intense romantic relationships in your 20s." The track lands with a Bryan M. Ferguson-directed video.

"Some doors lead to new positive experiences, some take you to the start, others set you back further than you could imagine," Låpsley adds. "It's a minefield of endless corridors leading to rooms, and you’re given numberless key cards and somehow meant to spend your adult life working out what to do! This track was made in the same week as ‘Smoke and Fire’ during lockdown in mine and collaborator Joe Brown’s shared studio in Tottenham. He brought the UK sounding garage beat into the session and we jammed on the piano to form the track pretty quickly. I think the lockdown isolation was a time of unexpected reflection and ultimately a positive catalyst for accepting the chaos of modern life. “I’m running, I’m searching, I’m running, I’m learning."

Cautionary Tales Of Youth will follow Låpsley's 2020 second album Through Water, and was produced in collaborations with Jessy Lanza, Paul White, Greg Abrahams and regular collaborator Joe Brown. It also feature an appearance from South Africa's Msaki.
