Mancunian musician LoneLady has released a new single. (There Is) No Logic was premiered on BBC 6 Music, and comes alongside the news that she will be touring the UK and Ireland in 2021 and 2022. Tickets are available to buy now.
The release is described as being “inspired by ‘Memento Mori’ paintings – a medieval art form that warns us ‘remember you must die’ – this track is a darkly humourous take on this warning, updated and re-imagined as a punchy electro track.”
Speaking on the track, Lonelady said: “It just really encapsulates so many cool electro sounds and even some r’n’b vocal stylings. It was fun sampling ‘do’ and ‘dah’ vocals and running them through the sequencer to get that choppy-collaged effect, definitely a Cabaret Voltaire influence there.”
“The technology gods were happy that day and it all came together in a really fresh and immediate way. The melody came almost instantaneously and the lyrics almost wrote themselves. Some of these vocals are in fact the ‘scratch’ takes, or first takes.”
