This week’s Totally Irish Tip of the Week in association with Golden Plec is April.

April is April Lawlor, a songwriter from Kildare whose SoundCloud releases have won her well earned praise from many quarters in the last couple of weeks.

April has posted extensively in SoundCloud since the end of last summer, with her latest track Would U Let Me In? appearing online last week. Her most recent productions have been lo-fi soulful RnB tracks with a vocal style and overall sound reminiscent of Banks, Shura and Jessie Ware.

So far, April has been recording and producing her own tracks in her bedroom, and names other self produced, DIY indie artists Gus Dapperton and Clairo as inspirations. She plans to continue writing and eventually release an EP, as well as play her first gig in the months to come. Until then, you can check out “Would U Let Me In?” and April’s other tracks on her SoundCloud.

Listen to this week’s edition of Totally Irish featuring music from Odd Morris, A Lazarus Soul, Rumi and Rufus Coates
