April - Irish Artist of the Week 4:13

4:13

From Kildare, Ireland, April Lawlor is a singer, songwriter and producer releasing music under the moniker ‘April.’ Self-producing tracks on GarageBand that lived in the lo-fi, bedroom pop, indie world and posting them to SoundCloud just for fun quickly introduced her to the music industry. With a discography described as ‘introspective pop,’ her intricate songwriting is always the heart of every track, allowing her to follow her intuition and take her writing into different genres and soundscapes. April has toured Europe supporting artists such as Alec Benjamin, Matilda Mann and Claud. April shares: “I wrote Puppy when I was living in London, processing the end of a relationship & how fast someone moved on—almost instinctively, like they couldn’t help themselves. It’s a mix of frustration and acceptance, wrapped in something lighthearted & funny, I've realized I deal with a lot of big feelings with humour and comedy. I wanted the song to feel like a memory you can’t quite place, the little details that stick with you even when everything else fades.”…

Bhí sé a chéad uimhir a haon I Meiriceá agus d'fhan siad ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí sé a tríú hamhrán óna albam The Joshua Tree ó 1987 agus bhí sé a amhrán is cáiliúla. I 2009 chuaigh Bob Dylan chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Together Through Life. Bhí sé a 33ú halbam. Fuair sé dhá ainmniúchán ag The Grammys I Best American Album agus Best Solo Rock Vocal don amhrán Beyond Here Lies Nothin. Bhí an t-albam seo suntasach de bharr go raibh sé uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain agus I Meiriceá ag an am céanna. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Megan Fox I Meiriceá I 1986 agus rugadh amhránaí Janet Jackson I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1966 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
