La Iris
La Iris (1996) is a Dutch singer-songwriter raised in the Netherlands and in France. Mostly fascinated by words and language growing up, yet always singing, she finally merged her two passions in 2023, with her delicate debut single "When I Wake" as a result.
Marked by a sense of melancholia and nostalgia, her sound is recognised for its storytelling aspect, drawing influence from pop, folk and more recently, jazz. In music, La Iris purest expression comes to form. A medium where she fearlessly expresses the truth, in all its vulnerability. La Iris' music is here to disarm you into feeling.
Her biggest influences fluctuate between the wordy Françoise Hardy, Alice Phoebe Lou and Laufey.
With her soothing, crystal-clear voice, solely accompanied by piano or guitar, La Iris silences smoky Berlin bars and guides listeners on an introspective journey through heartbreak and its aftermath.

"Letting You Go" is a French guitar ballad with surprising hints of harmonica. The final part of a three-window series on heartbreak, this song catapults La Iris into her independence, symbolising the end of a chapter. It tells about a time where we recognise we have been holding onto our wounds for too long and we decided it is time to let go.
