Deoraí - Digiteach Single Review
Deoraí is an Irish language speaking collective fronted by Jack Delaney. Jack studied the Irish language after returning from London aged 26 and became fluent and confident enough to sing in Irish after just 12 months. The group released two singles already, Coincréit Fhuar and Sceimhlitheoir and plan on releasing ten more throughout the year. These songs will feature a host of Irish artists. The collective have now just released their latest track Digiteach.
About the single Jack says “‘Digiteach’ (Digital), tells the story of how “humanity is progressively entering into a digital world. It is about the future and where this path we are on with technology is going. It is not cynical precisely, but it is slightly critical of some aspects of digital culture and how it has affected human life”. The song represents two characters; a man who comes from around 100 years in the future and a woman from the present day, who is progressively being drawn into the digital world. The main lyrical theme of the song is found in the lyrics themselves: each of the verse lyrics starts with a question of “Will there be ___?” In an action and response style that explores the future of various tropes we consider as being intrinsic to human existence, including love, music, the touching of hands and so much more.”

Digiteach is an absolute marvel to behold. No, I don't understand 90% of the lyrics but that doesn't take away from the sheer enjoyment that the song offers. The music is pure dance and the video is sheer brilliance. You may sit in awe for a few moments afterwards and try to comprehend what just happened but words cannot do justice to this, it's just fucking incredible.
