'Better When You’re Around' is the lead single from Rhona Macfarlane’s forthcoming second EP ‘Closing The Window’ which is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2021.

This first single is an uplifting and joyful track that recognises being around the right people is the key to inner happiness, regardless of circumstances. It’s a stark and honest reminder of what’s really important, as we slowly emerge into the new normal of a Covid world. The live guitar and vocal recording deliver an honest sound and create a wonderfully understated intimacy to this record.
