Singer-Songwriter Molly Roberts makes her debut with the bold, blissful and reflective new single ‘Wings To Fly’. Based at Tileyard London, co-writing with a whole host of skilled artists and songwriters, the new single demonstrates her impeccable ability as a performer and a songwriter, offering a fresh look at this exciting up and coming talent.

Honest and heartfelt, ‘Wings To Fly’ doesn’t need big production in order to shine relying just on a warming blend of piano, strings and Molly’s effortlessly impactful vocals. Akin to the likes of Freya Ridings, Molly’s songwriting shines through with soaring melodies complimented by layers of vocal harmonies.

Speaking about the single Molly said: “Wings To Fly is a song about resilience and hope and having enough courage to follow your dreams, no matter how difficult it may be or how many challenges you face. The overall message of the song is about seizing the day and learning to embrace change.

I wrote ‘Wings To Fly’ quite quickly in the summer of 2021. I was listening to a lot of Joni Mitchell and Carole King and so I tried to write something which was both emotional but also simple. I didn’t want too much production on the track either. I recorded a version with a much larger orchestration with percussion and synths but instead decided that a simple and more classic arrangement worked better. I decided to record and add a live string quartet to the track too which I think enhanced the emotional build of the song.”

Having completed her degree in English and French, the 21 year old is now taking the next steps on her musical journey having moved to London to pursue her dream. Having already been a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, International Songwriting competition and the Snowdrop Songwriting competition (judged by Glastonbury’s Michael Eavis), Molly's first single The Sun After The Rain garnered over 100,000 views and was dedicated to NHS Together.

Molly spends her time performing every week in and around London, co-writing with other artists and working on making a sound which is both unique and timeless. Growing up in Wales surrounded by music, Molly started performing at the age of nine and cites Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and The Beatles as her main influences. Molly aims to create music that is meaningful, and which channels a diverse blend of pop, classical and beyond.
