Lady Bird Lad Shares New Single ‘More Than Enough’

Published

on

Lady Bird Lad is the music project of Harry Hudson-Taylor. He combines elements of Conor O’Brien’s Villagers, Ben Howard’s emotive storytelling, Damien Rice’s raw emotional force, and eerie Elliot Smith-like melodies, all converging to create something truly unique.

Returning with his second single ‘More Than Enough’, this comes ahead of Lady Bird Lad’s four-track debut extended-play of the same name, slated for release on March 1, 2024.

The melancholy and upbeat new track ‘More Than Enough’ demonstrates the depth of his passion for music and his unparalleled ability to combine powerful lyrics with enthralling instruments. The alternative folk-pop release incorporates vocals, synths, piano, bass guitar, bass synths, strings, and nylon acoustic guitar with electric and acoustic drums. Listening to it is uplifting since it features Lady Bird Lad’s heartfelt vocals and amazing earworm production.

Lady Bird Lad wrote ‘More Than Enough’ with Belfast artist Jack Devlin during the lockdown in 2021. It was the first time they met each other and the original idea was for the songwriting session to be just for Jack’s music. They wrote ‘Dialogue’ during this writing session too via Zoom. The song is a conversation with a friend (or could be yourself) who is having a hard time and telling them they are enough exactly how they are.

In terms of production, the bones of the original demo made the basis for the final production. Lady Bird Lad produced the song up to about 75% of the way and then got help from a dear friend Brian Speaker (Speakersonic) to finish it off. The drums on the track are played by Tom Osander (Damien Rice ‘O’ and ‘9’, Lisa Hannigan). Backing vocals and some last-minute lyric change suggestions came from Lady Bird Lad’s partner Seraphina Taylor. ‘More Than Enough’ was mixed by Ruadhri Cushnan (Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, Mumford and Sons, Kodaline).

On the song, Lady Bird Lad says, “‘More Than Enough’ is a poignant and empathetic song that delves into the universal struggles of self-doubt and emotional hardship, while simultaneously offering a message of unwavering support and self-acceptance. To me, this song signifies the journey of recognizing one’s inherent worth, even amidst life’s toughest challenges. It speaks to the heart of anyone who has felt overwhelmed by their memories or circumstances, reminding them that they are always sufficient, just as they are. The emotional tone of the song is nurturing and supportive, akin to a compassionate friend or guide offering solace and understanding in difficult times. The song resonates deeply with me and I use it as a bit of a self-healing tool as well, as it mirrors the essential human need for connection and empathy.”

Kilder Unveils Stunning New Music Video for Single “Dusk Till Dawn”

Published

on

There’s something hypnotic about the way Kilder captures motion in his music. With “Dusk Till Dawn,” the Amsterdam-based producer leans into his genre-fluid sensibilities to deliver a track that’s as emotional as it is danceable. It’s the kind of single that transports you instantly — from fluorescent office lighting to the glow of a neon-lit street, from the mundane to the magical.

Sonically, “Dusk Till Dawn” is a lush blend of house, techno, and UK garage – but Kilder doesn’t just mix genres, he moulds them into something uniquely his. Every kick feels purposeful, every synth line like it has its own emotional arc. There’s a warmth to the track that wraps around you, even as the beat pushes forward with that late-night urgency.

The music video adds a deeply human layer to the experience. Following the journey of a man shedding his daytime persona, it’s a powerful metaphor for reclaiming selfhood in a world that often asks us to suppress it. The visuals move seamlessly from drab routines to liberating nightlife, echoing the sonic transformation that happens across the track’s runtime.

Kilder is no stranger to acclaim, and “Dusk Till Dawn” feels like another chapter in what’s becoming a very exciting story. His previous collaborators and co-signs – from Issey Cross to BBC Radio 1 – suggest an artist with both underground credibility and mainstream reach. The Spotify playlist placements and syncs with Apple only reinforce that he’s being heard in all the right places.

What’s most exciting is the promise of what’s to come. With an EP due in July and a growing catalogue of boundary-pushing tracks, Kilder is shaping a space where emotion, rhythm, and storytelling collide. “Dusk Till Dawn” isn’t just a single – it’s a statement of intent, and one that positions Kilder as one of the most compelling names in electronic music right now.
