Abbey Lane Releases Fantastic New Single, “Just a Little”

Hit that volume and enjoy Abbey Lane’s awesome new pop-rock single, “Just a Little”. This fabulous single has a nostalgic sound that perfectly marries with its insightful lyrics exploring bad timings, lost love, and self-reflection.

Abbey co-wrote “Just a Little” with New Wave Records’ Hayden Marie who also produced, mixed and mastered the single. The two creatives worked across different states, sending demos back and forth.

“Hayden had sent me the bare bones of the track originally and allowed me creative freedom to write my own parts to it,” Abbey explained. “We both vibed what the other was creating, so it made for a very easy creation process, sending each other logic sessions and demos until we reached our final recorded version.”

She said she wrote the lyrics “based on a friend’s relationship experience before the song took on a story of its own. Overall, it’s a narrative about having someone in your past who you can’t seem to separate from, and although you’ve both tried to move on, that in the end you’re still drawn to them.”

The release of “Just a Little” ushers in a new era for Abbey’s music following the release of her debut EP Afterthoughts in June. If you live in New South Wales, make sure to see Abbey play “Just a Little” and other fantastic tracks at one of her upcoming shows:
