Steph’s DJ pick of the week this week is “Late To The Party” by Orla Gartland featuring Declan Mckenna!

Orla Gartland can be described as a musical gem. Hailing from Ireland, Orla carries a colorful and vivid career behind her, and that train is not planning to stop anytime soon. Her first studio album Women on the Internet has seen success at number 3 on the Irish album chart, number 10 on the UK album chart, and number 1 on the UK Indie chart. Before that, singles like “Why Am I Like This?” and “Flatline” have found themselves captivating fans and hearts alike.

In addition to a flourishing solo career, Orla is a member of the indie pop supergroup, Fizz. Other members include Dodie Clark, Greta Isaac, and Martin Luke Brown. Yet despite her mainstream success, Orla is not afraid to recognizer her humble beginnings. She started posting videos of her singing and playing guitar to YouTube all the way back starting in 2009. Orla’s fanbase was born and has only grown larger since then. Now, she released her sophomore studio album Everybody Needs A Hero this past October with this week’s DJ Pick, “Late To The Party”.

The song is an up-beat, ode to the life of the party. It’s about the desire for a relationship to be new again by abandoning the baggage carried in. “It’s all a part of the drill / Got big shoes to fill / I gave you your favourite T-shirt / She gave you your trust issues”. Despite having a deeper message behind it- bright, spunky, and most importantly fun- “Late To The Party” is an energetic party track through and through. Listen to the song below!
