Laura-Mary Carter - Four Letter Words
“Don’t be late,” Laura-Mary Carter sings, knowing she’s rarely on time herself. Her new track “Four Letter Words” is a restless dance of affection’s push and pull — big, shimmering, and impossible to sit still to
There are many four-letter words, and Laura Mary Carter seems to be caught between some of them in a dynamic relationship. Her new song enchants with big sounds and a lush retro-pop vibe. She explains:
“‘Don’t be late’ sets the stage, though in truth I am rarely on time myself. What follows is a sharp-eyed tale of affection’s push and pull, where the four-letter word could be anything, you decide what it is, with a knowing eye-roll at the chaos of caring for someone who drives you round the bend. It’s irony wrapped in melody, humour folded into heartbreak, all carried by a beat that refuses to stand still.”
Based in Brighton, Laura-Mary Carter also makes music in the indie duo Blood Red Shoes. „Four Letter Words“ is the latest single from her debut solo album, Bye Bye Jackie, out next Friday via Jazz Life Records.
