Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Margo Raats Releases New Song “Crying in the Taxi”
London-based Belgian singer-songwriter Margo Raats released the third single called “Crying in the Taxi” from her upcoming debut EP “Paper Paradise” on March 27, 2024.
It was written by Ingrid Døssland, Margo Raats, and Myrtoula Røe. Produced by Margo Raats, Daniel Hylton, and Eirik Hella.
The accompanying music video was directed by Henry Croston.
On the track, Margo Raats adeptly channels her pop sensibilities and lyrical finesse, delving into themes of remorse and introspection against a backdrop of melancholic melodies.
Margo Raats said of the song, “Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if we had a certain amount of I love you's and sorry's to give. I think words lose meaning, it’s hard being honest, in a world where no one is pure.”
She continued, “Love makes me cry, in a way it also tells me I’m alive. I wanted crying in the taxi to be a celebration of crying and leaning in, that’s our duty on this earth to lean In. I wanted to be able to dance to the sound of letting go.”- She added, “Writing songs I often look for answers below the surface and between the lines but not with CITT. It was simple, a change in destination. For everyone who can relate to this, you should be proud + i hope you dance to it too.”
The debut EP is expected to be released in 2024.
She worked with producer Dan Hylton on the EP, which features a deeply personal yet polished sound. -
