3.55: Cork pop star Lyra talks about her new single '29 Box' and her upcoming tour - plus supporting Westlife on their UK arena tour. Lyra coined the term ‘29 Box’ herself - it references the most common size dimension of Snapshots used to create the perfect aesthetic on social platform sites. She says: "While social media is an invaluable tool and networking system, it can consume you and a small percentage of people can make it a dark place. I feel like we live in a world with two lives, our glossy online self, when in reality we all have our own pressures. I wanted the record to resonate with my fans, we need to celebrate our individuality.”
