Manchester artist LoneLady shares new single, announces Dublin headline show

Manchester artist LoneLady (Julie Campbell) has shared her new single, '(There Is) No Logic', and announced a headline show at Dublin's Grand Social.

Her return to the capital city will see her perform on October 1st, midway through her UK 2021/22 tour.

Her most recent full length album, Hinterland, was released in 2015 via Warp Records, but the road to a follow up has been five years in the making and full of surprises. Her starkly urgent debut album Nerve Up was released in 2010 to critical acclaim.

Inspired by British post-punk, Julie first started making recordings in the early-mid 2000s on a 4-track cassette recorder in her flat while completing a Fine Art Degree. LoneLady writes, performs and records all the components of her music, building up her own soundscape in a solitary creative process.

Her brand new track is suitably laced in colour, with shades of '80s electro-pop and R&B present alongside her trademark brand of post-punk.

“It just really encapsulates so many cool electro sounds and even some R&B vocal stylings," LoneLady commented on the track.

"It was fun sampling ‘do’ and ‘dah’ vocals and running them through the sequencer to get that choppy-collaged effect, definitely a Cabaret Voltaire influence there. The technology gods were happy that day and it all came together in a really fresh and immediate way.”

“The melody came almost instantaneously and the lyrics almost wrote themselves," she adds. "Some of these vocals are in fact the ‘scratch’ takes, or first takes.”
