hey y'all


It's crazy to me that 'heavy' comes out TOMORROW. that's fucking nuts. in fact, if you're in Australia/NZ it's already out for you! Let me know what you think. So proud of how this one turned out. I loved getting to share all versions of this song on here, from an idea in its infancy last May to a fully produced track in November. :) for me sharing this process with you is the heart of what the secret demo club is about.


as always I'm an independent artist self-releasing a song, so any help you guys can give me to spread the word really, really helps. time to assemble the secret demo club street team - following some or all of these small steps when the track is out tomorrow won't take much effort, but will help me out immensely! 


here is the link to use/share when the track is out: https://orla.ffm.to/heavy

(this is a master link that then lists all the places you can stream or download the track - spotify, iTunes, Apple Music etc). 


you can:

1) share the track on your twitter, facebook, instagram, instagram story. if you'd like the high res artwork for your post I've attached it here below! I'll be doing my big 'out now' post in the morning (around 10am UK time) so on twitter & facebook you could RT/share those!


2) send the track to a friend - if you have someone in mind who you think might like the song, consider sharing it with them direct. word of mouth is so effective & I love getting personalised song recommendations from friends:)


3) if you're a spotify user add it to your private and public playlists. I'm not gonna pull a Bieber on it & ask u to stream it constantly on loop with a VPN etc but sure give it a couple spins if u can, maybe stick it on the background while you work tomorrow alongside some of your other faves! spotify is full of ALGORITHIMS so a good first week on there means a higher chance of showing up on those ever-coveted playlistssss


4) if you're an iTunes user plz do download the track! 


5) if you're a fan of physical releases I'll have a link tomorrow to pre-order a physical CD of 'freckle season' EP :) it has 5 tracks on it, including 'did it to myself', 'figure it out' & 'heavy'. link to come tomoz..


I'll add more tomorrow if any come to mind! but yeah, anything is appreciated guys. most of all I just hope you love it! it's a sad one, it's an honest one. 


luv!

I LOVE THIS ONE. I've been playing it on repeat since the may demo! The string parts are so beautiful, so subtile, I love it. I'm going to tell all my friends about it and play it on repeat on spotify!

orla, i love you. HEAVY IS A TREASURE. i’ve sent it to all my friends and i hope everyone likes it. you are just beyond everything in this world, and i’m so incredibly proud of you. wow. feeling a bit soft now while i’m in a lecture, so can’t wait to get home and CRY while listening to heavy. ❤️

Oh god Orla this is achingly gorgeous. You've done an incredible job here and it captures missing someone deeply so, so well. Beautiful. <3

it's so beautiful. my favourite thing about your lyrics is lines like "i'll never see that dog again" and "i just wanna hang with you and watch grand designs" , beautifully capturing how, when you abruptly lose someone from your life through a breakup, you realise how much you miss the everyday aspects of a relationship and the everyday comforts and that this feeling of absence from your life can be the most painful and difficult thing to get through after a breakup.

this song is so so so beautiful. storytelling at it's finest!! i rarely see things so beautiful. i connect to everything you say so much and it seems to fall in line with events of my own life. thank you for the help 💛💛💛

My morning alarm is linked to a spotify playlist called the most beautiful songs in the world. I woke up this morning in a daze and was confused because the song I was listening to was not one of the ones I normally hear. But I was excited because I was pretty sure I liked it. Cut to you start singing and I got real pumped because I realized it was Heavy and it took like a day and a half to get there. So yeah, apparently whoever curates this very popular playlist considers it one of "the most beautiful songs in the world"
