Editor's note

Janet Devlin's honest songs about mental health

The X Factor UK alum writes direct, personal music that connects with listeners.

For a good sense of her approach, try "Lifeboat" or her cover of "Chasing Cars." Both show what she does well.

Her cover of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" topped iTunes charts in multiple countries in 2014, showing how her voice resonated beyond the TV show. Songs like "Lifeboat" and "Creatures Of The Night" carry that same straightforward vocal style while addressing mental health themes she's been open about. It's music that feels like a conversation rather than a performance.

She first appeared on The X Factor UK in 2011, placing fifth. Her debut EP "Hide & Seek" came in 2013, followed by the album "Running with Scissors" which reached number seven on the UK charts. She's kept writing and performing since, maintaining that connection through her songwriting.
