If you’re looking for a pop bop to shake the midweek blues away to, then we’ve got the perfect song to share with you today, courtesy of British musician Lexie Carroll.
As the title would suggest, ‘we never made it to glasgow’ gathers its inspiration from a time when Lexie was unable to visit Scotland after a portion of her tour with James Marriott was cancelled for unexpected reasons. In that time, the artist explains:
“I went to my good friend and collaborator Jack’s place and wrote this song! Though the line stemmed from the tour, the song is more so about being a bit stupid on an adventure with somebody. I think it feels like snippets of a confusing, slightly awkward but very fun drunken memory.”
Lexie’s rise in popularity has been impressive. The artist currently garners more than 125k monthly listeners on Spotify, while her songs have so far amassed over four million streams.
A new EP has also just been released, called ‘you look lovely when you’re living’, which you can stream here. Lexie will embark on her own headline tour later in the year, with dates and venues listed below.
