Orla Gartland - Everybody Needs a Hero (2024)
Orla Gartland’s Everybody Needs a Hero is a bold, introspective journey, blending her sharp wit with deeper emotional themes. Her sophomore album tackles personal and societal questions, while balancing catchy indie-pop anthems like “Backseat Driver” and “Kiss Ur Face Forever” with more reflective, orchestral moments such as “Mine.” Tracks like the title song dive into heavy distortion and crunchy production, while “Late to the Party,” featuring Declan McKenna, adds a playful collaboration. This release solidifies Gartland’s place as an alt-pop heavyweight, combining vulnerability with playful, high-energy production(GoldenPlec)(Hotpress)(Clash Magazine).
