Self-discovery and the struggles of mental health are familiar themes in pop music, often wrapped in shimmering productions and infectious hooks that echo through daily life. But few artists have the courage to strip back the gloss and lay their unfiltered truths bare. Harrogate-born artist and songwriter Litany is one of those rare voices. Turning down the volume on the music industry while cranking up the raw, unfiltered realities of life is something Litany knows all too well. Her reluctance to face her inner turmoil is understandable when you consider her journey. Since launching her career in 2015, she’s worked intensely to elevate her project to new heights. Her breakthrough came with ‘Bedroom’, a track that exploded in popularity after its brief feature in a Wrigley’s Extra commercial, amassing nearly 60 million streams on Spotify. Her ascent seemed unstoppable, further bolstered when national treasure Joe Lycett directed her music video for the single ‘Uh Huh’. Litany’s initial years in London were a whirlwind of parties and dazzling city lights, fulfilling the dreams she had long harbored. But as 2019 gave way to the year of the pandemic she found herself grappling with mounting anxiety, stress, and depression. With a series of standout airplay moments – including BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop, BBC Radio 2, a glowing endorsement from Elton John on his Rocket Hour show, and a recent appearance on Patrick Kielty’s show on BBC Radio 5 Live – Litany is ready to embark on an exciting new chapter. Having sold out iconic London venues such as Scala, The Lower Third, and more recently Oslo, she’s now gearing up to bring her electrifying and captivating live performance to stages later this year. Stay tuned for more from Litany to come!
