SOAK is 22-year-old Irish singer-songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson. Longlisted for the BBC Sound Of 2015, the same year she released her debut album Before We Forgot How To Dream, which won her a European Border Breakers Award in het year after.

Now, SOAK returns with her first track in three years. Everybody Loves You is about the lies we tell ourselves in denial and the eventual acceptance of our real emotions. A seemingly simple song with many layers, built around Monds-Watson’s addictive voice.
