Little Butler - Little Butler EP Review

By

Little Butler (Eoin Ó Cinnseala) is a folk singer songwriter from Meath who lists his influences as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Nick Drake. He is no stranger to live shows and has played in Ireland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and USA. It was in Australia that he met producer Mick Wordley and began recording his debut EP. Last week the self titled EP was released.

Watch the video for Streetlights:



The EP kicks off with Don't Let Them Get Away which is the perfect introduction to this man's music. It's refreshingly pleasing with echoes of Evan Dando and Josh Ritter in the mix. Streetlights is possibly even more beautiful. The music invokes melancholic feelings while Eoin's vocals are deeply charming. Coming Home showcases the storytelling ability of Little Butler. The addition of the female vocals works well to create another dimension to his music. Given Time features some incredibly elegant strings which are the driving force behind this song. You can actually feel your heart breaking at how gorgeous this track is. The five song EP closes with This Life. Another finely formed piece of magic from Little Butler. 

This EP is nothing short of fantastic. Little Butler has poured his soul out for all to see and the result is remarkable. There's not one moment of this EP that doesn't hold your entire attention. Whilst his influences are very evident in his music, it's clear that he can stand amongst those peers feeling proud of what he has achieved.

She is also a part of the musical wing of Extinction Rebellion. Her influences include T Bone Walker, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen.

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
