Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke-on-Trent alt-rock riser Lissy Taylor returns with the infectious new single ‘Your Girl’. With a natural ability to write addictive indie-rock anthems, Lissy has built a feverish fanbase and a reputation for her polished, high energy live shows.

‘Your Girl’ celebrates the confidence boost of being single on a flirty, summery indie-pop bop. Built around a tight backdrop of bright guitar tones, punching drums and grounding bass, Taylor’s silky, smokey and effortlessly charismatic lead vocals glide above the instrumental backdrop to create an uplifting, mood
boosting tone tinted with a sultry and catchy edge.

Speaking about the track, Lissy shares: “I wrote it after a breakup thinking yes I could be your girl but I can be anything. I really wanted to capture the confidence and empowerment in being single.”

A hard working independent artist who is renowned for her strength and determination, the power of Lissy Taylor’s songs have allowed her to recently support a number of rising artists including The Snuts, Sundara Karma, The Reytons, Circa Waves, Sea Girls and The View.

This year Lissy has been crowned by Manchester City Football Club as their Battle of the Bands Winner 2024 after performing to 7000 football fans live at the WSL final in Manchester’s Joie Stadium where she was also televised on BBC One, Match of the Day introduced by Alex Scott MBE. Lissy was awarded 5 days recording courtesy of Manchester City FC. Working with acclaimed producer Tayte Nickols, Lissy has recorded live tracks at Strongroom Studio 1 before Tayte was awarded ‘Breakthrough Producer of The Year’ by the Music Producers Guild for work on Lissy’s song ‘Minds A Riot’ recorded and produced at Abbey Road. Having gained support across music press, including Clash, Louder Than War and Clout, Lissy Taylor’s songs have gained airplay across UK national radio including from Nels Hylton on BBC Radio 1, OJ Borg on BBC Radio 2, Absolute Radio (Skin Show) and John Kennedy Radio X, gaining a slot on the X-posure playlist. Her latest 3 singles have all been played on BBC Radio 1 Future Alternative; ‘Life Changing’, ‘Minds A Riot’ and ‘Feel For Me’, which was also added across editorial Spotify playlists including New Music Friday, Pulp, Proper Belters, Indie Girl, Fresh Finds UK and Shockwave.

It’s a morning coffee for your ears; Life Changing is a powerful kick start to your day. This track is pure motivation to be the best you, condensed into two and a half minutes, find out if it works. Life Changing is about asking yourself, “why not?” In this inspirational anthem, Lissy Taylor shares her belief that it is possible to turn life around and make a positive change. Inspired by her hometown of Stoke-on-Trent and the people who live there, this track has the heart to make a difference, uplift struggle and champion greatness. This song is life changing.

“Being from Stoke inspired me to write this song. There’s so many brilliant people from Stoke and great things that happen that go unnoticed. There’s also so many people that go through struggles, myself included, and this song champions pulling yourself through to the other side. This is a song to cheer you on when there’s doubts and to throw you up in the air when you’re winning. This is the sound of the underdog” – Lissy Taylor
