Guitarist and songwriter Laura-Mary Carter shares new single and video, ‘Four Letter Words’, the latest from her upcoming debut solo album Bye Bye Jackie, out this Friday.
Best known as one half of UK alternative duo Blood Red Shoes, Carter’s solo work continues to thrill and draw us in. ‘Four Letter Words’ is a compelling preview leading up to Bye Bye Jackie.
“‘Don’t be late’ sets the stage, though in truth I am rarely on time myself. What follows is a sharp-eyed tale of affection’s push and pull, where the four-letter word could be anything, you decide what it is, with a knowing eye-roll at the chaos of caring for someone who drives you round the bend. It’s irony wrapped in melody, humour folded into heartbreak, all carried by a beat that refuses to stand still.”
