Låpsley releases her debut album ‘Long Way Home’ today on XL Recordings. The twelve track album features new versions of her previous acclaimed releases ‘Hurt Me’, ‘Falling Short’, ‘Painter’ and ‘Station’, as well as latest single ‘Love Is Blind’ – which was premiered as Annie Mac’s hottest record.

Låpsley describes the album as: “an autobiography of my emotions and events over the past year. Everything that’s happened, I’ve channelled in some way into a song. I think it’s helped me, to be able to collect everything for those moments when I’m writing… that’s what’s driven this album.”

Låpsley’s determined views on her own production have ensured her involvement in every element of these songs. For the bulk of 'Long Way Home' she worked with XL’s in-house producer Rodaidh McDonald. She also worked with Mura Masa for the album’s closing track, a song that gave the record its title. “That lyric about taking the long way home… has two different meanings: the album’s about a long distance relationship, but also if you walk the long way home with someone you’re trying to spend as much time as you can with them.”
