South African singer Arabella Latham makes indie pop with straightforward lyrics about personal struggles.
If you want to hear what she does, start with 'Medicine' and 'Colours Of You'. They frame that mix of personal themes and straightforward indie pop pretty well.
Her debut EP 'Medicine' in 2020 got attention for how plainly it addressed mental health in the title track. Songs like 'Colours Of You' and 'I'm a Mess' keep that direct approach while moving into indie pop territory. She's working with musicians like Tom McFarland on guitar and has a full-length album coming.
She started writing songs as a teenager, inspired by Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley. After the 'Medicine' EP came another called 'The Yearbook' in 2021, then the single 'Colours of You' the next year. Now she's got an album simply titled 'Baby Queen' in the works.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
