Luke Clerkin - Stones Single Review

By

Luke Clerkin is a singer songwriter from Dublin who has been creating music for the last 5 years. In that short space of time he has had international radio play, topped the Irish singer songwriter charts on multiple occasions and has toured across Germany, UK, Ireland and USA. In 2015 he remarkably played over 250 gigs. In 2018 Luke sang to over 10,000 at the National Housing Protest. 

Luke is back with his first single in over a year. Tomorrow he will release "Stones", a song that he originally released in 2016 as part of the Cycle Against Suicide campaign. This single is a new version and is from his upcoming project "What Little Time We Have". Of the single, Luke says "‘Stones’ is the most important song that I have ever written. This is because of the message behind it, the message of how important it is to talk to people when you are in a dark place. This comes from my own struggles with mental health, and how I have dealt with them. With what is happening now with COVID 19, I feel there is no better time to release this song. I think it could help those in isolation who are struggling with their mental health, and encourage them to speak out."

"Stones" is a particularly poignant song in these times. It's a song of hope and encourages the listener to let go of your problems. It's beautifully constructed and showcases Luke's songwriting ability.

She is also a part of the musical wing of Extinction Rebellion. Her influences include T Bone Walker, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen. Whilst working in a bank job that she hated, Logan had a health scare which showed her that life is short and time can't be wasted doing something you hate so that's when her musical journey began. In 2016 she moved to London to compose her own music which she recorded in a fully solar powered studio and through her own independent company meaning that she owns all of the copyright to her music.

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. This song will put you in a  good mood for the rest of the day.  Follow Logan J Parker: Twitter Instagram Facebook Spotify Official Website SoundCloud YouTube
