LITANY UNVEILS NEW SINGLE “FUTURE US”

The journey of self-discovery and mental health struggles has become a familiar path for many pop stars, often marked by polished productions and catchy hooks that blend into everyday moments. However, artists who are willing to expose their deepest, most sincere selves are a true rarity. Enter Litany.

Harrogate-based artist and songwriter Litany brings her introspective, shimmering pop into sharper focus with her latest single, ‘Future Us’, released today via Nettwerk. Following her recent track ‘Jelly Tot’, this new single hints at a larger project on the horizon and showcases her talent for crafting refined pop hooks around themes of real-life relatability. With her rich and resonant vocal, blending vulnerability and defiance, Litany (aka Beth Cornell) dives into the bittersweet optimism of long-distance relationships, capturing the resolve to make it work despite the distance in hopes of a brighter future together. 

Discussing her new single, Litany shares, “This is a bit of a fantasy about someone I loved moving very far away for work. Instead of calling it quits like we might in real life, we both agree to make it work and try long distance—thinking future us will be grateful! Bittersweet, right?”

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 2020, she found herself grappling with mounting anxiety, stress, and depression. 

Following a slew of impressive spins across the airwaves including BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Pop’, BBC Radio 2 and Elton John on his Rocket Hour Show, Litany is ready to embark on her next chapter, with ‘Future Us’ serving as an emphatic statement of intent. After selling out shows at London’s The Garage and Scala, and ushering in this exciting new era, Litany will headline a sold out show at The Lower Third in London on November 27th. 

Stay tuned for more from Litany soon!
