New from London singer-songwriter Carmody is Singing Your Love, an uptempo love song that represents a further string to the bow of this versatile new artist.

Of the inspiration behind the song, Carmody says: “‘Singing Your Love’ feels like my first love song. I read somewhere that songwriters are always documenting each phase of their lives through their music. I had never thought of it like that before, but it felt important to write about a moment beyond the battles that can exist when you fall in love. I’ve always struggled to write about happiness without stumbling into cliché, but it felt like something worth celebrating, something worth dancing about, beyond the scrutiny that I usually put my relationships under.

“It also came from a conversation I had on the Are We Live podcast, where I started talking about how there are no songs that objectify men, no videos with men washing cars in little cute boxers. So it also stemmed from a desire to see and write about the male form as a muse and sexual object.”

Carmody has recently appeared at festivals including The Great Escape in Brighton and Liverpool’s Sound City, with appearances at Barn on the Farm and Wilderness still to come this summer.

Being widely tipped as one of most likely artists of 2018, South-East London songwriter Carmody is enjoying a huge wave of support from music bloggers drawn to her candid story telling style woven into her music which deftly unites the gulf between folk and pop. Using guitars, electronic instrumentation and keys to supplement her light vocal style which is laden with anguished emotion and heartbreak.

Developing out of the capital cities vibrant DIY scene, most discovered her through her collaborations with Alfa Mist, Laura Misch, Nick Leng and Tom Misch with whom she teamed up with on the single ‘The Last Song’ and to create their ‘Out To Sea’ EP. Blending hip hop with soulful guitar work, the five-track release was a massive hit with the music press and quickly saw her name spread.

“Most of my songs seem to be about memory and loss in all their different shapes and forms.”

She has subsequently made further release whist working independently including the EPs ‘Skin’ and ‘2nd Exit’ and shown a massive creative outburst with tracks ‘Like That’ and ‘The Ways Of Your Love’ being brought out in recent months. Her prolific roll continues, aiming to bring out her debut album this year.

“I think it’s pretty essential to push yourself out of your comfort zone; I’m always trying to find new chords and challenge myself to write about new things in order to continue to develop my songwriting.”
