Following on from her previous release of ‘Fired Up’. she also shared the second track from the album ‘Chant’, an energetic number which features Or:la’s own vocals, lyrics inspired by her experiences of London hedonism and nightlife.
‘Trusting Theta’ enlists an impressive set of collaborations, featuring close friend and chart-topper Eliza Rose, poetry from fellow Derry-born artist SOAK, and conversation with Mary Lake on ‘Cooking Up Pepper Spray’.

The album is set to explore themes of identity and “female rage," documenting her story of “breaking free from the suffocating energy of rural Ireland as a young girl to the relatable reality of modern life and all its complexities.”
It delves deep into Or:la's personal experience, exploring the “sticky hangover of growing up in latent sectarianism and religious order, a complicated matter felt by many queer millennials wishing to express themselves authentically.”
