The track is the first release since her celebrated debut EP Libby from last year
Following our glowing review of her 2024 EP Libby, we have been poised in anticipation for whatever New Zealand singer-songwriter Libby Johnston does next, and her latest single ‘Ingram Road’ has provided more of the deeply personal and powerful work that has characterised her immersive and distinctive appeal.
The track, crafted as a surprise Mother’s Day gift, is a poignant ode to the artist’s childhood and the memories and feelings that she associates with it. There is a really candid sense of honesty to the sound that the moving way that it unfolds, with the emotion and heart that is poured into the sound having a relatable and universal appeal despite how personal and specific the lyrics are. This makes for a really captivating track that speaks to the strength of the bonds and ties we have with the people we love, and articulates it gorgeously.
