Tracy Gallagher - The Fallen EP Review

By

Tracy Gallagher is a singer songwriter from Co. Mayo who now calls Dublin home. Tracy path led her to teaching French and then hypnotherapy before settling on a career in music. She then converted an old van into a rustic home on wheels and travels the country writing songs. After releasing her debut single "Sit With Me" in 2019, Tracy has gone on to receive high praise from many critics on the Irish music scene. She also appeared on Peco's album collaborating on "Let The Credits Roll". Today, Tracy releases her debut EP "The Fallen". 

The EP begins with the aforementioned "Sit With Me". The song begins almost ominously before Tracy's enthralling vocals kick in on this sultry story of love and letting go.
"Beauty In Poetry" is exactly that. It is a beautiful piece of poetry with gorgeous strings accompanying the again stellar vocals.
The title song "The Fallen" is a faster tempo track with a much more pop sound to it. It's perfect for radio play of which it's sure to get loads.
"Paper Dolls" brings the mood down again with its solemn lyrics and sorrowful vibe. This just adds to the beauty of the song though and again showcases Tracy's brilliant songwriting abilities and her undeniable vocal talent.
The EP closes with "Roses" which is a song about a relationship that is ongoing but really needs to be finished. The final lyrics "Let it die, it's time to say goodbye" are a fitting way to close out any record.

It's safe to say that Tracy Gallagher is a very talented singer and songwriter and whilst this is her debut EP, it's hard to see how she could have made it any better. It's brilliant, it's full of emotion and it's captivating from start to finish.

Logan J Parker is a singer songwriter from Portugal but currently residing in London. Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed her single Cry Cry Cry and now she returns with her latest single Blue. About the song, Logan says " Blue is another sad song I wrote about the lockdown and it's dedicated to my mother and best friend Rita. Without her, I wouldn't be a musician." Watch the video here: Blue is a quirky upbeat jazz track and is Logan's first foray into the ukulele. The happy vibes of the music and Logan's vocal delivery masks the sadness in the lyrics.
