Actor: Uppercut

Actor is the alias of Louisa Osborn, collaborating Producer Chris Mulligan and Drummer Ste Anderson, who started writing their self-labelled ‘Emotional euphoria wrapped in sweet and sorrowful narratives’ in a murky art space once home to a bomb factory in Leeds.

‘Uppercut’, mixed by Rich Turvey (Clean Cut Kid/Blossoms/VITAMN) and features a deeply personal narrative. On the song Louisa reflects: ‘Uppercut was inspired by a Billie Holiday lyric “I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else”. Uppercut personifies the ugly punch you unwillingly have to take when you have to give someone up.’. Somewhat far from ugly ‘Uppercut’ swirls majestically with a lilting vocal and epic instrumentation that draws the listener into what is a beautiful reflection on personal conflict.
