Litany

Founded by U.K. singer and songwriter Beth Cornell, Litany's glossy, yearning synth pop dwells on relationships and the obstacles of the everyday. The project went viral in 2017 with "Bedroom," a song from Litany's debut EP, 4 Track. Cornell grew up in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England on a steady diet of video games and '90s pop music, and eventually started writing her own synth-based songs. Using the alias Litany, she released early recordings such as "Work This Out" and "Flaws" in 2015. The self-released 4 Track EP followed in 2017, and one of its songs, "Bedroom," was met with millions of streams. Calling on members of the Yorkshire music scene to join her backing band, she toured the U.K., later earning spots at 2018's Reading and Leeds Festivals. After relocating to London in 2019, she released a second Litany EP, Single Player Mode, that November. ~ Marcy Donelson
