Video Premiere: Watch the video for LAOISE's queer anthem 'Seriously?'

LAOISE has today shared the playful new music video for her track ‘Seriously?’, taken off her most recent EP Mad.

According to the artist herself, the video is a colourful look inside the mind of LAOISE.

Speaking of the track, she says: “Seriously? is about that feeling when you really, really like someone and you don’t know how tell them but you keep dropping hints and they don’t pick up on them and you’re like ‘seriously?’

"It actually made me think about the first time I liked a girl, and she just thought we were just really close friends! When I was writing it, it was the middle of the winter and the weather was horrible, but I kept imagining the feeling of summer and what that would sound like in a song. To me, it feels like driving down a highway with the top down, mixed with the taste of fruit punch and the smell of sun cream. It’s the feeling you have when you’re not worrying about anything other someone liking you back, which I think is something we’ve all felt, especially when we’re younger and carefree.”

Originally from Galway in Ireland, 22-year old LAOISE has become prominent on the Irish music scene for her dreamy, ambitious and frank pop songs about relationships and heartbreak, often with more introspective lyrics, juxtaposed with upbeat electro and synth production.

Having performed a string of gigs and festivals over the summer – most recently Longitude Festival - ‘Seriously?’ has a mischievous and charismatic energy that has seen it become a fan favourite during her live shows.

Taking her cues from the silky production of acts like Tove Styrke, Troye Sivan and MO and incorporating elements of synth, indie and alternative – LAOISE’s music is deeply inspired by household names like Kate Bush and David Bowie, as well as the different musical personas of Taylor Swift.

Drawing on these combined influences, LAOISE has created her own brand of glittering, yet gritty, electro-pop.
