Sophie Lloyd releases new music video for ‘Hanging On’

SOPHIE LLOYD has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Hanging On, is the brand new single from the British guitarist and follows on from her previous single, Fall Of Man, which was released last month. The track features guest vocals from famed YouTuber and RED HANDED DENIAL/CRAZYEIGHTYEIGHT vocalist Lauren Babic.

Speaking about the new single, Sophie says, “I’ve been a fan of Lauren for so long, she’s honestly got one of the most amazing and unique voices I’ve ever heard, and she’s also a phenomenal writer. We discussed the feelings of performance anxiety and pressures of having a music career start in an unconventional way and subsequently being labelled as ‘YouTubers’ or ‘Bedroom Players’ a lot and sometimes people can underestimate us because of that, and that can get in our heads. But this song demonstrates us rising above that and releasing we deserve to be where we are, and we’re two badass women making a name for ourselves in the rock music scene.

I love the heavy rock and bluesy feel that the riff and verses have, building to the end where Lauren showcases her screaming talents, I think it really tells a story throughout the track. I take a more laid back approach for the solo in the track, allowing sustained notes to breath and harmonies to carry the melody into a big finish and really tell a chapter in this story Lauren is singing about.”

Lauren Babic adds, “I’m so glad I finally had the opportunity to collab with Sophie. She’s doing incredible things in the guitar community. I love diving into different genres and Hanging On was able to scratch that rock n roll itch! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!”
