Lizzie Esau has shared a vulnerable new single, ‘Stay on the Phone’

North East singer-songwriter Lizzie Esau has shared a vulnerable new single, ‘Stay on the Phone’, which reflects on city living as a woman, and specifically the experience of walking home late at night.

It is the Newcastle-based newcomer’s fourth single release of 2022, following the envy-driven ‘Shade of Green’, festival anthem ‘The Enemy’, and alt-rock-driven ‘Bleak Sublime’. Produced by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice, The Killers), the new release hints toward a debut EP which is expected to arrive in Spring 2023.

Surprising listeners with a new acoustic-led ballad, Esau has stepped in a new direction with this intimate and vulnerable reflection on the experience of walking home late at night, and living as a woman in a big city. The honest chorus howls in unison with all the unheard voices that fall victim to unprovoked abuse.
