Larlin is back and their new single “Better On Screen” is exactly what we hoped for. It’s fresh and full of energy. The song dives into the world of digital love and how sometimes it’s easier to connect through a screen than face the messiness of real life. It’s a topic many of us can relate to, especially in today’s online world.
The vocals by Maryann Hoar are powerful and instantly draw you in. She sings with a mix of confidence and feeling and her voice shines especially in the chorus, it’s emotional and easy to sing along to. The lyrics are beautifully written and thoughtful without trying too hard. It’s the kind of track that sticks with you.
The production is top-notch. From the soaring guitars to the strong drums, everything is well-balanced. The melodies are memorable and the pop-rock sound feels both polished and real. You can tell this band knows what they’re doing and they do it well.
Larlin is clearly a band on the rise, and this song proves they’re ready for bigger stages. It’s a song that feels modern and honest, while still being fun to listen to. We really love how this track blends emotion with great production. It feels deep, but still accessible. Larlin has something special going on and we’re excited to hear what they do next.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Formed in Brighton in 2024, Larlin blend raw emotion with razor-sharp production. Fronted by Sheffield-born songwriter and vocalist Maryann Hoar, their sound balances melancholic lyricism with a punchy alt-rock edge. The band also features producers Lewis Foord (Wet Leg, LYRA, Conor Maynard) and Cameron Nesbitt (Lovejoy, James Marriott, Luna Blue), whose diverse backgrounds bring depth and edge to the sound. It’s thoughtful, emotionally charged music with a restless energy. It’s music for overthinkers with volume knobs.
