LARISSA TORMEY INNER ANGEL (single) - THE REMIX

Singer/songwriter LARISSA TORMEY has never been shy when it comes to what some people might call taking risks. Others might refer to her tendency to venture down the proverbial path less chosen as going 'against the grain.' But for Larissa, the truth is far less dramatic. The Russian-born, Kilbeggan-based artist is simply being herself. And yes, taking risks and forging her own path is definitely a hallmark of her style. Her latest release, a remix of the beautiful title track from her innovative acoustic EP, Inner Angel, is just that, too. You don't often - if ever - hear of a remix on the Irish country scene. But then again, there aren't too many entertainers like Larissa, either.

The Inner Angel EP was originally released towards then back end of 2019, and as well as the moving title track, featured Larissa's take on Sade's iconic Your Love Is King, an equally emotive rendering of Ewan McColl's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, and completely out of left field, a gentle treatment of Tender by Britpop giants Blur. But such was the reaction to the song Inner Angel - from Larissa's own pen, by the way - that she couldn't help but wonder how the track would sound if given a more distinctly 'country' feel. The result is that what was already a love-song for the ages, now has everything you could think of to become an epic cross-over, eternally heart-string pulling smash hit.

Inner Angel - the remix - is a made for the movies ballad that edges Larissa further into the triple-threat territory of singer, songwriter, and producer.
