She's de-LYRA with herself
Love Island is well known for dropping some serious bombshells (especially when Flack-attack walks in), but Cork artist LYRA got more than she bargained for whilst watching the dating show last week.
There she was, chilling in her flat over in London when this happened:

Imagine!?
Dermot and Dave gave the 26-year-old a call to find out what it's like having your track featured on the most popular TV show out there right now - and not having a breeze it was going to happen.
It wasn't so much "I got a text" for the singer-songwriter - more like 'I got thousands of notifications' after her Shazam account "went through the roof".
In fairness the whole vibe of the track and the lyrics are perfect, "I run to the beat of my heart".
Here's the hauntingly beautiful piece of electropop in full:
LYRA also tells there's "music coming out my ears" after recent heartbreak and how she is "working on something quite cool", so watch this space.
We've no doubt the Corkonian is gonna make it big, she was a former 'Homegrown Hero' on Dermot and Dave after all.
