With infectious melodies, relatable lyrics, and a striking electronic backdrop, Lucky Iris’ new EP, Something To Believe In, is a radiant alt-pop masterpiece that showcases the duo’s undeniable talent. The songs her explore themes of self-discovery, friendship, and finding hope in challenging times. Lead vocalist Maeve’s honest and heartfelt lyrics resonate deeply with listeners, making the the four-track record feel both personal and universal. The EP’s production is top-notch, thanks to the skilled hands of Richard Wilkinson and Antony Ryan. Of a special place in our heart is the previously reviewed title-track, which is the football anthem that’s been living rent free in our minds ever since we heard it.

Lucky Iris has quickly gained a reputation for their energetic live performances, and their music has resonated with audiences in their home-turf Leeds as well as across the UK. With their continued success and the release of Something To Believe In is a refreshing addition to the British music scene and it’s clear that Lucky Iris is a rising force in the alt-pop world.

“‘something to believe in’” the EP is about leading with your whole heart before your head. The songs are a story of playful self discovery, casual existentialism and falling in love with your friends. Together I hope they give you a little look into the world of Lucky Iris… and to be honest the world of Lucky Iris is pretty much a nicely dressed up version of my own life… and I love living in it… most of the time hehe! It’s a world full of synths, football memorabilia and flirting; mixed with a taste of influences we’ve picked up along the way. I struggle to get out of my own head so instead I’m letting you in. And when all is lost, sometimes you just need something to believe in, and sometimes that’s football, sometimes it’s your friends… and sometimes, it’s an alt-pop band.”
