Biography
‘Just fucking express yourself.’ That’s the takeaway from Delilah Montagu’s third EP ‘Baby’. Following the release of last summer’s ‘This Is Not A Love Song’ EP, the London-based artist’s new project is a total departure from the brooding and melancholy –influenced by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Arlo Parks, Bon Iver, St. Vincent and Lizzo. A breakup during lockdown led Delilah to reconnect with her sense of self and in doing so, she found freedom and happiness –and it’s palpable in every track.
‘I realised I was trying to be someone I’m not and trying to be ready for things I wasn’t,’ says the 23-year-old. ‘I’ve let go of all that pressure.’ The project is an exhaling release from the shackles of expectation, looking to a new chapter with hope and excitement.
