Lindsay Munroe: Women Make Music
Lindsay Munroe single recording and production
Lindsay Munroe’s newest single, Wild Me, began with a perspective-shifting solo trip to the Lake District. “I remember getting there early, parking in this random spot, and wandering aimlessly through the trees, and it just opened up. Going from my tiny little house to this expanse, I just started crying,” remembers the Manchester artist.
Munroe describes that moment as a microcosm of the last few years of her life. Since her departure from an oppressive church and the end of a long-term relationship — plus undertaking an MA in feminist theology — she’s been on a journey of learning exactly who she is when she’s totally free. It’s encapsulated in Wild Me, an ode to exploring beyond all constricting boundaries, whether musical or personal. PRSF support has allowed Munroe to go back into the studio with long-term producer and collaborator Steph Marziano, continuing to develop her distinct blend of indie and pop influences.
Since releasing her debut EP in 2020, Munroe has received support from BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, Line of Best Fit and DIY. Her second single, ‘Split’, even received public support from one of her musical heroes, Sharon Van Etten. 2021 brought a sophomore EP, ‘Softest Edge’, which received support from spotify editorial playlists such as ‘Garden Indie’. The lead single ‘Parallel’ has recently been featured in the BBC/Hulu adaptation of Conversations with Friends. After successful headline shows in winter 2021, Munroe has been gigging across the UK and plans to release new music this summer.
