Track of the Day: Orla Gartland - 'Kiss Ur Face Forever'

Dublin-born, London-based singer-songwriter/producer, Orla Gartland is back with her brand new single - 'Kiss Ur Face Forever'.

Taking a break from work with her newly developed supergroup, FIZZ, consisting of the Dublin woman and longtime friends dodie, Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown, this new track marks her first solo release since her 2021 top 10 debut album Woman On The Internet.

This upbeat, pop-punkish offering brings Gartland's infectious energy to the forefront, demonstrating the musician's insane vocal range and talent perfectly. Cynical yet soppy, this love song that showcases a more electric side to Orla’s musicality, living in the complexity of feelings towards the person you love.

The RTÉ Choice Music Prize 2021 shared more about the meaning behind the lyrics, saying: “This song is about being in love and split down the middle by it - on one side excited and energised, the other side cynical and withheld. I really love the erratic guitars and the urgency of the drums in this track - hearing the intro literally gets my heart rate up.

"I wrote 'Kiss Ur Face Forever' with Tom Stafford (my co-producer on my first smash-hit album Woman on the Internet) and my best friend Lauren Aquilina. Lauren and I live together and have been friends for 10+ years, since we were both tiny baby popstars."

Gartland continued: "We had never written together up until this point - I'm such a fan of Lauren's songwriting that I'd always been too nervous to ask - but it finally happened and unsurprisingly it was so fun and felt almost effortless to write with someone who knows me so well.”

In other musical news for the Irish singer, FIZZ’s debut album The Secret To Life is due for release on September 15 via Decca Records. She also recently featured on singles with the likes of Half-Alive and Cavetown.
