MUSIC: Lauren Aquilina - Liars EP

I discovered Lauren Aquilina when iTunes had her single 'Sinners'as a free download in 2013, and to be honest I was amazed by the fact that an 18 year old girl could write such incredible music, that is incredibly brave. It's safe to say I then went on to download her EP's 'Fools' and 'Sinners' bother were very impressive releases, which feature songs that you really listen to opposed to just sing along to in the car.

On Monday, Lauren released her third EP, 'Liars' and it's probably my favourite so far. The single 'Lovers or Liars' and I've literally listened to it non-stop all day. Lauren has this way, in my opinion, of writing songs that are clearly personal to herself but that are so easy to relate to and this is definitely one of those songs for me. It's beautifully written and her voice is angelic. 

'Forest Fires' like most of Lauren's songs is another sad song, but if you know what works for you why not run with it? I get shivers when I hear this song, just for how beautiful it sounds, the lyrics are perfect and I love the full production of the song, it makes me feel like I've been transported to somewhere else completely and not just sat in my living room typing this blog post. When a song can do that, you know it's a goodun'. 

'Square One' is another song that I relate to, and maybe its because she is the same age as me, so we're likely going through similar things where relationships are concerned. The song has some powerful lyrics that really stick out to me, 'I forgotten who you are, but I remember that's a good thing'. It shows sass and that she's powerful, but it's written much more eloquently than most songs in the charts these days. 

The final track on the 'Liars' EP is 'Broke. Listening to  her EP's if there's one thing that this girl knows it's heartbreak, but I love the way that she writes about her heartache. It's classy and beautiful. This song also features a lyric that is one of my favourites, 'It's not that I don't want, it's just I don't know how, to love you like I used to'. 

This EP, for me, is about moving on from that guy who has broke your heart or keeps breaking your heart, which is probably why I love it so much at the moment. For me, as much as I love pop/rock songs, you cannot beat a good slow, sad song. Mostly, because it's songs like these on Lauren Aquilina's 'Liars' EP that really make an impact on me. It's amazing to think that she is only 18 and has such a skill at songwriting and an amazing, I can see great things happening for this girl, this year.
