Orla Gartland gets vulnerable on new single, "Mine"
Orla Gartland has shared her vulnerable new single, "Mine" via her own label New Friends.
Complete with an accompanying visualiser, "Mine" is a gentle yet powerful inspection of Orla Gartland’s evolving relationship with intimacy and finding peace with past personal experiences.
"'Mine' is by far the most vulnerable song I've written to date - putting it feels a little scary but also hugely important to me. It tells a fragmented story of an experience that really affected my relationship with intimacy and how that stayed with me throughout relationships that followed," she explains. "I wanted to give the lyrics on this song space to breathe so we kept the production super minimal on this track; live vocal & guitar and a super beautiful, haunting 4-piece string part. This was my first time recording real strings on a song of mine and for me they bring even more emotional depth to the track.
The release of "Mine" follows Orla Gartland’s return with recent single "Little Chaos", as well as a string of wildly popular intimate live shows across her hometown Dublin, London and Bristol.
"Mine" is out now.
