Edmonton, Alberta’s Rebecca Lappa shows a tender side with her new ethereal pop single ‘Underneath Me’ out 14th June.
Having tackled past trauma with previous single ‘Deep Water’, Canadian musician Rebecca Lappa dives into something more sensual for her upcoming single ‘Underneath Me’. Imploring in the chorus, ‘I need you to come home now/Running with my arms out/We’ve spent way too long just making love over the phone now…’, the lyrics accompany an understated background of synths and minimal drums to allow Rebecca’s stunning vocals to take centre stage. The feeling of isolation is also gorgeously captured in the music video, as the singer-songwriter whiles away the hours in a rustic autumnal landscape. Watch here.
Rebecca Lappa: ‘I wrote “Underneath Me” about missing someone who is far away, wanting to feel their touch, and longing for the separation to be over.’
Born in San Francisco but raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Rebecca has been singing since childhood and plays multiple instruments. After watching Taylor Swift open for Brad Paisley, she decided “That’s like me. I want to do that.” Rebecca subsequently went on to be nominated five times for the Canadian Folk Music Awards, winning young Performer of the Year in 2015. In 2019, Rebecca was nominated for three titles at the Edmonton Music Awards, taking home the win for Singer-Songwriter Recording of the Year. Among her previous releases are 2016’s Reckless Heart, 2017’s Spirit EP and 2019’s Unfiltered EP.
Last year saw Rebecca release her Tales of a Taurus EP, marking a stylistic change in direction for her music as she leaned into indie-pop territory in tracks such as the dreamy ‘Forecast’ and the warm sounds yet icy imagery of ‘Blue Lips’, gaining support from the likes of Atwood Magazine, Music-News, and Beats Per Minute. Upon its release, she made her debut UK appearances, which included her very first British show at The Strongroom in London and a set at The Great Escape, the latter earning praise from The Line of Best Fit for ‘packing punch after punch’.
The new Rebecca Lappa single ‘Underneath Me’ is out 14th June. Pre-save here.
