London artist Orchid, who wowed us with her innovative new single 'Later' in February, has shared the full EP it belongs to: her debut project, Like Thunder. If you're a fan of pop, Orchid is an absolute must-listen now and someone to keep your eye on in the future.

With the tempo and melodies of Destiny's Child, the voice of Ariana Grande and the experimentation of ROSALÍA, Like Thunder is a must-listen. Fans of the very best of '00s pop will be smitten, especially those among you enjoying the genre's modern tweaking from artists such as Rina Sawayama.

On her evocative style, Orchid said “I want that physical experience to be present in my music - from the most abstract version of it through to the most pop. I want to find beauty in this real, actual life.”

Now she's a popstar, Orchid can't quite believe it: “I never thought that I could do that. I didn’t think mere mortals could be musicians. I love pop music like it’s my religion.”

Like Thunder EP is out now.

Issue Three of the Gigwise Print magazine is on sale now! Order here.
