Aotearoa's indie-soul sweetheart Lee Martin releases her deeply emotive new single, “Last October.” With its strong folk feel and melancholic undertones, the song weaves a haunting narrative of reflection and loss, capturing the experience of feeling discarded and used.
Accompanying the release is a moody, intriguing VISUALIZER that enhances the song's contemplative atmosphere. The track is one of those rare songs that listeners will find themselves playing on repeat, captivated by its emotional depth and melody.
“This is a song about reflection and about a situation where you feel like you've been used and thrown away. The chorus lyrics ‘Breathe me in, breathe me out, throw me in the bin’ reiterate this. This is probably one of my favourite songs on the album because of the emotion it evokes, ‘Staring down the barrell of Last October, pouring down the whiskey to numb the pain’ I just love that opening line to set the tone of the song” shares Lee Martin.
In addition to today’s single release, Lee Martin has announced a special album release show to celebrate her forthcoming 3rd studio album, Dreamers Dawn (Release date 25 October). The show will be held at The Piano in Christchurch on October 30, 2024, featuring an 8-piece band, including a stunning 3-piece horn section, promising an unforgettable live performance at this iconic venue. A Nation-wide tour will commence straight after. Details available via www.leemartinmusician.com
