Lou Hayter has shared the exciting news that her new album ‘Unfamiliar Skin’ will be released later this year via Greco-Roman. It’s the London-based musician’s first album that she has completely written, performed and produced on her own. Together with the album announcement she’s also unveiling new single ‘In My Heart’, following ‘Frequency’ and ‘Stop The Rain’.

New single ‘In My Heart’ is Lou Hayter at her best. Delivering a shimmering nostalgic disco track that’s irresistible from beginning till end. The new single is the perfect soundtrack for these hot summer days and we can’t wait to hear the record in full! Be sure to give the cool anime music video, directed by Tom Furse a watch below as well.

About the new record Lou mentions:

“It’s a very personal album to me because I produced, performed and wrote it myself. It felt important for me to do this as only a small percentage of producers are women so I set myself the challenge. The title reflects the new feeling of this role but also has a dual meaning about why the enticing pull of the unfamiliar in relationships can lead to affairs, that’s what the title track is about,” Hayter explains.

“I stepped away from my first album a little bit sonically and took inspiration from space-age r&b in the early 2000’s, the sound of Compass Point studios and electronic soul were also a huge influence for me. I have a magpie approach to music in that I’m always looking for something I haven’t heard before that is shiny and exciting to my ears: if it doesn’t have magic in it I won’t use it. I made my own world in this record, I’m proud of it and I think it sounds quite unique”.

‘In My Heart’ is out now on all platforms. ‘Unfamiliar Skin‘ arrives October 4th via Greco-Roman.
