London-based producer and singer/songwriter Liza Lo has shared new single “What I Used To Do”. She has recently joined independent analogue specialist label, Gearbox Records, home to Abdullah Ibrahim, Binker & Moses, Thiago Nassif, Levitation Orchestra, Graham Costello, and more.

The new single follows her self-released Flourish EP, characterized by a meditative take on Indie-Folk.

Speaking on the writing of the single, Liza Lo recounts:

We wanted to write a song that feels familiar yet fresh with a bit of a punch to it! Hebe, Wouter and I started chatting about our influences and we spoke about different artists including Clairo, Cleo Sol and Dijon and we were just hanging out talking about life. We were speaking about how you can just daydream and wanted to make this verse feel like you’ve just woken up from a slumber on a sunny day in your living room. We really aimed to make this song a fun little letter to yourself, reminding you how times change, you change and growth allows for this magical space where you really can just let go of the past and your old self. A song written to motivate you to not take everything so seriously and simply embrace change. A day in the life, focusing on a good vibe, the perfect main character feel is on.
