“BETWEEN THE LINES” PUSHES HER SOUND INTO SHARPER TERRITORY
OUT FRIDAY AUGUST 15 ON ALL PLATFORMS
Irish electronic artist HAYLAR is back with her fourth single since late 2024, and it’s a sonic firestorm. Titled “Between the Lines”, the track is a bold continuation of her cinematic, emotionally charged sound this time with even sharper edges and a message that hits home.
Produced by the ever-brilliant Karl Odlum, “Between the Lines” is a masterclass in tension and release. Odlum’s pedigree is undeniable—he’s worked with Babelfish, Mic Christopher (The Mary Janes), Gemma Hayes, Ann Scott, Jape, Nina Hynes, The Frames, and David Kitt, shaping some of Ireland’s most iconic long-player projects over the past few decades. His touch brings depth and clarity to HAYLAR’s already distinctive sonic palette.
The track opens with a pulsing rhythm that builds into a luminous, high-voltage chorus. The production is sleek and immersive, but it’s the emotional core that gives the track its staying power. “Between the Lines” is a soulful reminder that the answers we seek in the outside world are often already within us. The song’s message encourages quiet introspection over constant searching, inviting listeners to trust their own intuition and inner strength.
HAYLAR’s sound is hard to pin down—and that’s exactly the point. Her music blends cinematic textures with electronic precision, creating a space where vulnerability meets voltage. “Between the Lines” continues this trajectory, offering a track that’s as introspective as it is explosive.
Not only the production stands out. HAYLAR’s vocal delivery is razor-sharp—controlled yet emotionally raw. There’s a sense of urgency in her phrasing, a refusal to play it safe. This is music that moves, both physically and emotionally.
Though still early in her career, HAYLAR is already carving out a distinct niche in the electronic scene. Her previous singles have earned critical acclaim and radio support, and “Between the Lines” feels like a turning point—a track that could easily find its way onto festival stages and curated playlists across Europe and beyond.
All photography, moving imagery, and video for this release come courtesy of long-time collaborators Sean Jackson and Matthew Boyd, whose visual storytelling continues to elevate HAYLAR’s artistic universe.
With each release, her profile grows. And if “Between the Lines” is any indication, she’s not just building a catalog—she’s building a movement.
Stream it everywhere Friday, August 15th. And keep your eyes on HAYLAR because she’s just getting started.
