Creating “From Liverpool to Leith” has been a labor of love for SheBeat. Over the past ten years, she has meticulously crafted each song, collaborating with a diverse group of musicians and singers. This album celebrates the magic of music and the collaborative spirit it fosters.

“Home” was written as SheBeat settled into her new life in Leith. The song reflects her personal journey of finding a sense of belonging in a new place. It’s a heartfelt narrative that many can relate to, especially those who have experienced the transformative power of moving and starting anew.

The recording process for “Home” was an intimate and reflective experience. SheBeat worked closely with her production team to ensure that every nuance of the song was captured perfectly. The result is a track that is both polished and profoundly personal.

SheBeat has a series of live performances and tours planned to promote “Home” and her upcoming album. These events will provide fans with the opportunity to experience her music live, bringing the emotional depth and energy of her recordings to the stage.

“Home” is a significant addition to SheBeat’s discography, showcasing her talent for blending heartfelt songwriting with catchy indie folk pop melodies. As she prepares to release her debut album, “From Liverpool to Leith,” fans old and new will find much to admire in her work.

SheBeat's words:

What are a few words that would best describe you and your musical world?

It's difficult for me to categorise my music, but I'm really into storytelling and lyrics in songs from other artists, similarly I love indie pop and folk pop, and hopefully all that comes across in my own songs.

How do you stay motivated and inspired to create new music?

Music soothes me, so I'm motivated to create new music as a kind of self-care. As a songwriter I believe in 6-string therapy, I get a release when I write songs about my life. The best thing about songwriting is when your songs reach someone else and help them to feel seen, even soothed, or simply given an emotional release too.

Are you working on any new music or planning anything exciting that we can look forward to?

I'm working on my debut album From Liverpool to Leith out in November which will include a couple more new songs plus new versions of some previously released songs. It's been 10 years of releasing music and I hope to include lots of friends I've made along the way. Collaboration, community and friendships are part of the magic of music for me. My life is so much more meaningful since picking up a guitar in the 00s. Being a singer songwriter has enriched my life in ways I couldn't have predicted. If anyone if considering trying to write songs, just go for it, give yourself permission.
