“The response to Do Or Die has been amazing, and I love seeing people react to the song,” says Lloyd on the reaction so far. “It’s so cool seeing guitarists cover the solos and videos of people having it on in their cars and stuff. It’s so awesome to see all the positive comments and it just makes me so much more excited to release the rest of the songs.”
On the video and working with Lula, the 27-year-old says: “Working with Lula was amazing, she is such a talented performer, and takes her craft so seriously and is so dedicated. We’ve become such great friends and I’m so excited to see what she’s doing next.”

“I can finally say that I have new music coming!” says Sophie. “All my music before was instrumental, so this is a very special release for me as it includes vocals, and some of the people we’ve worked with are people I used to have as posters on my wall as a kid, so it feels very full circle. It’s something that I have been working on before the first lockdown, and to be here talking about it feels amazing!”
