Following from the success of her highly acclaimed debut album Woman On The Internet and her joyous workcation in supergroup FIZZ, Orla Gartland has made her solo return to music with bold new single Little Chaos.
Marking a new musical era in her unceasing evolution, the track sees Orla explore her sense of self within the context of a relationship through characteristically razor-sharp lyrics that are not only pragmatic but also as vulnerable as the ‘giant surrendering’ of love that the song’s about: “I struggle saying just how much I really love you / You can thank my mom for that”.
It’s catchy, confident, and feels like both a product of and for her generation. Orla’s understanding of what it’s like to put yourself out there in the digital age, in this era of judgement, is undoubtedly immense. And so, Little Chaos’ gig ready chorus is sure to be screamed up and down the country this summer.
