Laura Elizabeth Hughes has released her first single of 2020, Pandemonium’.The song was recorded live in one-take at Dublin’s Camden Recording Studios, the song features Cork producer 1,000 Beasts on piano. She has received amazing support from radio across Ireland including RTE Radio 1, 2FM, Today FM and BBC Radio Ulster and was recently announced in the Top 5 highest played independent releases on Northern Irish radio in the first quarter of 2020.

Hughes’ writing can bring so much out of the listener and her latest release is a perfect example of this. Encased in the tender and strikingly emotive songwriting of Laura Elizabeth Hughes, ‘Pandemonium’ is a time stopping gem. Hughes utilises her immaculate vocals to comfort, soothe and caress. Her rich tones have a magical power to light you up all while showing melancholic glimmers of longing and loneliness. She needs nothing more than her voice to reduce the most harsh and resilient of us to tears and ‘Pandemonium’ is a bitter sweet reminder of this. The song expresses that feeling we all have become so familiar with; being alone and the longing to see, hold and interact with our loved ones again, but that at the end of the day we’re all going to be ok. There is such comfort and perfection within this simple arrangement it’s utterly compelling. It’s a rare ability to be able to convey so much emotion and make such an impact with so little and in such a short space of time. Laura Elizabeth Hughes is a songwriter to treasure.
