If you were on the same side of the internet as me in 2015, there’s no doubt you would have stumbled across the incomparable Orla Gartland.

The Dublin-born, London-based artist has been kicking around the music scene since 2009 – after posting her first youtube video at 13 years old.

Now at 29, she’s just come off the back of releasing her second studio album ‘Everybody Needs A Hero’ and a sold-out North American tour.

‘Everybody Needs A Hero’ is a masterful combination of what Gartland does best. An intertwining of the bashful and intimate in what feels like a completely authentic and individual body of work. Her sound has expanded and evolved over the years, into a lyrically evolved and dynamic collection of tracks.

She sat down with Dream State host Jas, to chat all about ‘Everybody Needs a Hero’, committing to the colour scheme of an album and her third place, the Secret Demo Club.’

You can purchase a copy of ‘Everybody Needs a Hero’ here, or stream anywhere you can find good music.
