Rising French alt-indie quartet Later are pleased to announce a brand new release with the arrival of ‘Woman’, out now through cult Paris label Cookie Records.
Drawing on a myriad of influences from pop, funk, rock, jazz and soul, the band conjure insatiable offbeat melodies coupled with introspective, wry lyricism. They say: “Woman is a piano-voice track that is intimate, powerful, and highly filled with emotions. The kind of song that gives goosebumps from the first seconds. As much for its musicality as for its message. The band explains: “the lyrics deal with the passion we can feel for someone that can sometimes turn to obsession and madness. It is as much an tribute to love as it is a real admission of weakness or even fear of relationships.”
