Southport-raised, London-based singer, songwriter and producer Holly ‘Låpsley’ Fletcher is preparing to unveil her highly-anticipated debut album.

Long Way Home documents a turbulent time in the 19-year old’s life - a period in which she revelled in her new-found music career as it took her from Liverpool to London to Los Angeles and back again.  “It’s an autobiography of my emotions and events over the past year,” she says. “Everything that’s happened, I’ve channelled in some way into a song - whether that’s the theme of a long distance relationship, or something that he’s said, or the way that I’ve felt, or an argument.

Låpsley’s determined views on her own production have ensured her involvement in every element of these songs, a fact that in the early days seemed to confuse many of the producers she met. “They didn’t want to listen to me,” she says, “or they think a girl’s just there to add a top line, or they come to the table with ideas already. Straight away if I come in to a studio and someone says ‘I’ve written something for you’, then I’ll just walk out. I don’t care. I’m not there for that.”
