Martha's new EP ‘First Light’ is out 16th September 2022, including the single ‘To Be Happier’, out 9th September.

Like the soundtrack to a classic spy film, UK-based songstress Martha Bean’s expansive soundscapes and soaring falsetto have earned her comparisons to artists Nick Drake, Laura Veirs, and Andy Shauf.

The songs on this EP explore Martha's battle with insomnia and postnatal depression (she became a first-time mother not long before the pandemic struck), and self-worth (A Troubled Mind). The EP closes on a lighter, more positive note with To Be Happier, reminiscent of Carole King or Randy Newman.

“There’s no doubting the talent on display. Sufjan Stevens meets Debussy. Beautiful.”
