Rising Laois singer-songwriter Just Alice returns with the dazzling, Americana-rooted single, “good thing.”, released via Youngblood Music.
23-year-old Alice Laffan grew up immersed in Ireland’s rich musical landscape, her roots stemming from Irish traditional Irish music and the storytelling of legendary artists like Luke Kelly and Dougie MacLean. Seamlessly blending the influences from her youth with the modern emotional clarity of Joni Mitchell and Noah Kahan, Just Alice beautifully channels music of the people and music of home, no matter where home is for her listeners.
Debuting only last year with soaring single, “Wait”, Just Alice (Alice Laffan) has already performed across a range of live settings, from cozy Irish pub gigs to Electric Picnic, and international appearances at the Maryland Irish Festival and An Poitin Stil in the U.S - her growing fanbase drawn to her authenticity, lyrical honesty, and emotive voice.
Rejuvenating new single, "good thing." is a journey of sensation - breaking through the surface, taking a breath of fresh air, and feeling the light touch your skin, wondering why it took so long to lift your head up.
Alice shares , “I wrote this song before I ever knew what it was about. The meaning came to me after I stopped holding my breath and realised that, although we may not believe it at the time, a difficult choice can be a good thing.”
Just Alice continues to carve out a space all of her own — one built on vulnerability, storytelling, and a deep connection to her roots.
