Premiere: Lizlongley bids yesterday goodbye with 'Funeral For My Past'
is an 11-song stock-taking reflected by its title."A lot of these songs are about processing things I wanted to process in my life and truly leave behind," Longley explains."The overarching theme is how important it is to deal with your demons and then let them go." And in changing her label situation Longley clearly practiced what she found herself preaching.
“That title has taken on a new meaning for me because when I made this record I was really excited for the future, and that all fell apart," she says."So my past started to include this process of having to move on from that chapter and grow from it and become an independent artist again.”'s eclectic range -- from Americana and gospel-flavored soul to shimmering pop anthems and touches of jazz her father played -- was"unintentional" but welcome.
With four singles now out from the album, Longley is looking towards its fall release and hoping she'll have an opportunity to play live shows by then. In the meantime she's using her enforced time at home to be creative."More songs are pouring out, which makes me more excited," Longley reports."It kind of comes in waves.
