Orla Gartland announces debut album with lead single "Do You Mind?"

The tender new song "Do You Mind?" is the fourth track to be shared from Woman on the Internet, following on from earlier singles "Zombie!", "More Like You" and "Pretending".

Woman on the Internet will be Gartland's first collection of tracks since last year's Freckle Season EP. She says of the announcement, "Announcing my debut album feels like a moment I've been waiting for for years. Something clicked into place last year - I grew into my role as a producer and lyrically I knew what I wanted to say. Although this album was made in 2020 it isn't laced with lockdown blues - it feels more like the soundtrack of new time to me; a sunnier time, a more hopeful time. I'm so proud of this record and beyond excited for everyone to hear it!"

"When I was a few songs into writing the album it became clear that Woman on the Internet is about the chaos of my 20s," Gartland says of the album. "It's a different chaos to your late teens, such a different brand of angst. I feel so much more settled and sure of myself now than I was when I was 18 or 19 but I'm still just half the person I'm going to be and to capture that became really important."

Gartland adds of the album title, "She’s a caricature; a nameless, faceless figure telling me to eat better or buy some specific hair product; when I feel low I'm so vulnerable to questionable advice. The woman appears in these songs as someone I look to for guidance when it feels like no one in my real life can help, when I'm truly lost. A lot of this album is about learning to really own that lostness."
