Kildare’s April is back with another dreamy slice of Indie pop. Hotel, is the London-based artist’s third solo single since signing for Atlantic Records last year following the success of two well received EPs.
“I wrote ‘Hotel’ about feeling bad for hurting other people, being selfish in my personal relationships and my own bad habits,” explains April. “I’ve always been a very obsessive person and want things all to myself, so the whole idea of booking a hotel and being alone with someone and having them all to yourself is a play on that feeling. I wrote the second verse as a poem when I was on a flight to London – the sun was rising and it was so pretty, I actually did cry. The song was made with producer RISC, I sat behind him and the entire song spilled out of me, it’s a really special one.”
April is set to support up-and-coming Londoner Matilda Mann on her UK tour which commences at the end of March, before several confirmed appearances on the UK festival circuit this summer. Full tour details below Hotel video.
