Orla Gartland collaborates with Declan McKenna for 'Late To The Party'

With her eagerly-awaited new album landing in the coming months, Orla Gartland has now returned to share the next cut lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Late To The Party' sees her team up with Declan McKenna for the new release, and follows on from the previously shared efforts 'Little Chaos', 'The Hit', Kiss Ur Face Forever' and 'Mine' in previewing her sophomore LP 'Everybody Needs A Hero', which is out on the 4th October via New Friends.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “‘Late To The Party’ is a big old bratty song about resenting the baggage that you inherit when you love someone and yearning for a time when we were all a blank slate.

“I wanted a song on the record that shifted in pace a lot, something fun and loud, something indulgent. I first wrote ‘Late To The Party’ over a couple of solo sittings in my studio, mumbling out the lyrics while playing drums.

“A few months later I sent the song to Declan - for me he is one of the absolute greats, a properly timeless artist & writer. We worked on the song remotely at first, sending stems back & forth and then jumped in the studio for a day to dismantle the song & put it all back together. Dec’s parts & energy added so much to the track for me and after months of revisiting it ‘Late To The Party’ was suddenly complete.”
