Since emerging on the scene back in 2021, UK artist Lizzie Esau has been winning over fans and admirers for her melodic and powerful blend of alternative pop and rock, bringing huge memorable hooks and heartfelt songwriting in emphatic, gripping fashion. This has led up to the release of her lauded and celebrated debut EP Deepest Blue, a release that is packed full of nuance, shifting dynamics and exciting appeal.

A highlight from the EP is the artist’s captivatingly dark and expansive new single ‘Roadkill’, equal parts self-deprecating and empowering as the artist overcomes a situation of manipulation and abuse and rallies back in stirring and cathartic fashion. The range of emotions on the track gives it a gripping and engrossing feel throughout, working through these feelings and emotions to emerge stronger and more powerful as a result, with the soaring nature of the chorus embodying this feeling of liberation and the artist’s charismatic appeal.
