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.

Lexie Carroll – tomorrow

After the huge successes gained over the last twelve months, it’s safe to say that London-based teen talent Lexie Carroll might just become one of the UK’s newest musical exports.

Adding to that momentum, heartfelt new single ‘tomorrow’ continues to shine a light on Carroll’s artistry. With its delicate fusion of indie, folk and pop, the song delivers a sound that is impossible not fall in love with. Elaborating on the lyricism, Lexie explains:

“‘tomorrow’ is about feeling really safe with somebody. Like there could be a full on apocalypse going on outside but sitting in their living room you’re in your own bubble and everything’s okay.”

Now signed to famed record label Seven Four Seven Six (home to Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, bb sway and many others), Carroll looks set to take on her biggest year yet.

While still only 17-years old, Lexie Carroll is already a creating a name for herself a rising British starlet.

With a unique blend of dreamy pop and indie, this London-based talent crafts sounds that epitomise the essence of youth – and all of the emotional dilemmas that come alone with it.

“‘familiar stranger’ is about having to see someone again who you used to date and wanting them to think you’re over it – you just want to be familiar strangers to each other so it doesn’t have to be awkward.”

Taken from the forthcoming EP ‘when the sun came up’, which is out on 22 April 2022.
