Prepare to be fully in your feels for this one. Billingham-born Sarah Proctor has dropped “Lay Down”, an intimate, honest track about “that hopeless feeling you can get between two people, when nothing is terrible has happened but you gradually just lose that connection, you stop communicating to the point you both have to admit defeat”.

Tapping into our most personal emotions with her impressive vocals and open lyrics, listening to Proctor’s latest track is like having a conversation with an old friend. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jessie Reyez and Sam Smith, the singer states, “I like honest, real songwriting. Artists where, when you strip the production away, the songs stand on their own two feet – just pure and beautiful”. Poised for success, Proctor’s artistry certainly follows in the footsteps of those she’s influenced by.
