Polly Mackey, aka ‘Art School Girlfriend’, is a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter and producer originally from Wrexham in North Wales. Now signed to Wolf Tone Records she is hailing over the New Wave music scene and has just released a new single “Real Life” that is due to appear on her new album ‘Soft Landing’. 

As stated from her spotify profile “Soft landing” showed up to strike me when things were falling into place”, “I was at a typical moment where you’re leaving your 20s and realising you don’t have to work toward this concept of future happiness. Going into the pub with your mates can be the ultimate. Lying beside the person you love, watching the sun come up, can be it.” This wholesome idealism behind her soft electronic indie sound produces a beautifully layered track that is composed of tonal shifts and upbeat tempos accompanied with philosophical and intimate elements. “Real Life” engulfs you within the layers of the track and builds with the emotions the lyrical components created by Mackey. This introduces us into what is to come for the contemporary artist ‘Art School Girlfriend’ and we are excited for it here at The New Age Magazine. 

“Real life” is the newest single released for Art School’s Girlfriend’s new album “Soft Landings” that is due to be released in August 2023. You can find this electronic beat on our JULY IN MUSIC Playlist on Spotify.
