“Something quite special.” – The Line of Best Fit “Expert glitch pop. A sugar-sweet pop jam.” – Nialler9
“Effortless electronics with dreamy pop melodies.” – Clash “Whispery vocals and throbbing beat… fascinating.” – Hot Press

From her forthcoming debut album ‘Carry Me in From the Car’, releasing 28th November 2025
‘What You Gonna Do?‘ is an ode to sisterhood, survival, and the quiet beauty of beginning again. Across shimmering synths, measured groove, and atmospheric production, Logan folds a deeply personal story into a track that is as much about grit as it is about reflection.
Dedicated to the bond she shares with her sister Eimear, the track charts the complicated road the two walked with their mum – growing up in Belfast – before ultimately losing her three years ago. Now based in London, Logan channels the stoicism and inner fortitude that has carried them both forward.
“I’ve never really gotten over it, I wonder have you?” the first verse reflects, before opening into a an optimistic refrain. It’s a ‘Keep ‘er lit’ shrug – the kind of bittersweet, keep-moving-forward attitude woven deeply into the Irish psyche.
Logan co-wrote the track with two long-time collaborators; County Westmeath’s Brian Kelly and Kilkenny’s Johnny Oakley. Formed around a modular synth loop, the bones of the song were laid down in an old farm chapel in Hertfordshire. After Brian relocated the studio to Littlefields Cottage, it was completed between Ballynagore, Thomastown, and Hackney. Johnny contributed bass and his beloved MPC, with drums performed by Lloyd Haines.
Sonically, ‘What You Gonna Do?’ blends the intimacy of singer-songwriting with polished electronic pop. Logan’s vulnerable storytelling, lifted by synth and pad textures, rhythmic percussion and guitar/keyboard flourishes build a spacious, expansive atmosphere. The result is at once delicate and empowering – a soundtrack for renewal.
Produced by Johnny Oakley, the song reflects the courage of making something whole out of fractured beginnings. “It’s about feeling proud of what we’re making of ourselves – not in spite of everything, but with the strength that our history gave us,” she says.
