Glasgow artist Alannah Moar releases brand new single
Alannah Moar, a Glasgow-based alt-pop artist, has released her latest single Sandpaper, a track that reflects on feelings of self-awareness and personal growth. Known for her dramatic folk-pop, Moar began her musical journey at the age of 14 and has spent the past decade honing her craft. She has headlined shows in Glasgow and Edinburgh and performed alongside artists including KT Tunstall, Amanda Palmer, Callum Beattie, Soda Blonde, and Lazy Day.

The release, designed to resonate with anyone who has faced the hard truth of personal accountability, marks another step in her artistic growth. Described as mixing an "infectious" rhythm with "deeply introspective" lyrics, the song was inspired by a period of personal struggle in the young artist's life. Alannah said: "The narrative is about realising you're the problem in a relationship, which sounds depressing, but I think it's actually quite optimistic - because it's acknowledging that you have to do better, and that's hopeful."

Originally written in pieces, Sandpaper evolved, drawing influence from the glossy pop sounds of Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Charli XCX. Alannah said: "I refined it, made it a bit more me, a bit less of a pastiche." Through her continued updates, the artists hoped to balance a polished production style with vulnerable storytelling.
