We are super excited to share with you this high-energy track “Girls Like You Like Me” by Irish artist, songwriter and producer Dubliner Laura Keane aka ELKAE. This track is one of those rare energetic and powerful tracks that left you stuck on repeat for days! This track is on another level, the production is polished and the melodies are very catchy. The lyrics are original and well written and ELKAE’s voice is a piece of art. The song sees ELKAE hone in on a time in her life where she was getting her heart broken, breaking hearts, hooking up with different people, getting into different relationships, making mistakes, falling in love, making friends and partying. We enjoy listening to her amazing powerful vocals until the last second every time we play this song. We hope you love these vibes as much as we do!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“It’s the time when you’re figuring everything out and being a bit reckless at times too. We’re too young to settle down and we all want what we can’t have,” she reminisces.
“As a gay girl, a lot of my experiences were with girls. Girls who were breaking my heart, girls whose hearts I’d broken, the girls who were my friends, and how some of those broken hearts also grew into friendships and how we helped each other through it all. There’s a strange kind of unity in it all that I think can be quite unique to the gay scene at times,” she explains further.
