This catchy song “Carefree” by British artist Lissy Taylor, is one of the most beautiful songs we’ve heard in months. Even though we listened to this song dozens of times, we still can’t find the right words to describe it. Lissy’s voice is a piece of art and her melodies are incredibly catchy. The lyrics are beautifully written and mesh with the vocal melodies perfectly. Lissy Taylor is a skilled artist and she has so much talent when it comes to writing songs. The production is professional and brought this song to a new whole level. We hope you love this song as much as we do!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“Carefree is a determination to feel free, to feel unapologetic and unafraid. I decided to push myself to make this a reality by tackling my own anxieties and fears. It’s pretty ironic really because I was far from feeling carefree when I wrote it, it was a dream to be carefree.”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
A Stoke girl and songwriting graduate from Manchester who spent her teenage years in the USA has created her own unique sound, balancing the dark and dreamy with indie rock charisma
Following singles ‘Quiet Rage’ (Apr 21) and ‘Carefree’ (Jul 21) Lissy Taylor releases her latest EP ‘Undercurrent’. From the EP, ‘Quiet Rage’ and ‘Carefree’ have already received support from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Absolute Radio and BBC Radio 2. The 4 track EP ‘Undercurrent’ delves deep into a whole spectrum of emotions with new tracks ‘Ghost In A Summer Dress’ and ‘Summer Rain’
The Stoke-on-Trent musician tells us the meaning behind ‘Summer Rain’ and the EP ‘Undercurrent’.
“When I wrote Summer Rain, I saw it as a form of self love by getting yourself through a hard time and coming out the other side but with the recognition that it’s gone but not forgotten. I envisioned it as being stood out in the rain letting any pain be rinsed away.”
“I think this EP delves deeper and pushed my songwriting to be intensified through processing more complicated emotions. I wrote all of these songs around the same time based on my own feelings and experiences; I think the different songs show the gradual progression of changing emotions that I hope people can connect with. I felt that there was a deeper, darker side to each song that linked them together, which is why I decided on ‘Undercurrent’ for the EP title.”

Lissy Taylor is an emerging British artist with a distinct indie-pop sound. Originally from Stoke-on-Trent, Lissy moved to the USA in 2015 where she began experimenting with song-writing. Her earliest gigs and formative live musical experiences were spent playing in bars and restaurants across the States. Talking about her formative years in the USA Lissy said, “I regularly played in bars when I was living in America, I loved the atmosphere of it. For me, playing shows and writing songs has been a natural process of growing up, getting the adrenalin as each gig gradually got bigger. I think the start of anything is always the toughest and some gigs are better than others, its part of the craft. But for me the best gigs are when everyone falls quiet to listen to the songs and everyone is being in the same moment, its really powerful.”
Returning to the UK in 2017 to continue her studies at BIMM Manchester while continuing to perform with her band at music venue and festivals including Neverworld, Y Not and 110 Above and being the solo support for a UK Tour in October 2019.
