Most blockbusters are released at the start of the summer so it’s a rare joy for such a strong track to peep its head out as autumn is taking hold.

‘Lover to a Liar’ foams with the hutzpah of classic Christian Aguilera or contemporary Ella Eyre. Co-written/produced with Mike Kintish and KÅIKÅI, the raw lyrics are musically weaponised with Espa’s powerhouse vocals while tub-thumping drums and breaks set the purposeful pace of the track (with a modulated millennial whoop thrown in for good measure).

Announced with little fanfare, this is an absolute storming utterance that easily holds its own alongside the year’s most commercially-supported releases. More please, Espa.
