The track continues to highlight the distinctive allure of the promising Irish artist

Rising Irish singer-songwriter Lucy McWilliams has garnered a reputation for the tender and soft nature of her alluring sound, and does a great job of melding that with a more fuzzy, guitar-driven sound on her single ‘Plastic’.

The track showcases all of the charm that the artist has demonstrated over her catalogue, with her captivating vocals and thoughtful lyrics carving out a story about losing yourself in the pursuit of feeling loved and accepted. This emotionally charged narrative and the powerful and anthemic nature of the sound make for rousing and impactful listening, continuing to highlight the enduring appeal of the artist and her memorable charisma and style.

Adding about the new track, she said, “I wrote this song coming from a place where I was upset with myself for allowing a version of me to take over that I wasn’t comfortable with, wanting to be loved. I realised how easy it is to downplay your emotions to fit into a version of yourself that you think is more loveable. It’s exploring the desperation of love, and the anger you can have towards someone who holds it.”
