Wexford based contemporary folk singer songwriter Imelda Kehoe is finally back after her debut album How To Be Human back in 2018. Imelda spent some time recording at Windmill Lane Studios in preparation for her second album. The first single to be released from that album is Ordinary Star. Watch the video here: Ordinary Star is a showcase for Imelda's stunning vocals.

This song is an absolute triumph.  Follow Imelda Kehoe: Facebook YouTube Official Website Spotify Instagram Twitter

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...

Sounds like this don't come around too often. Follow Seba Safe: Instagram Spotify Twitt...

On Friday, Belfast native Owen Denvir released the second EP in his planned trilogy. The Stones EP is the follow up to Sticks and the precursor to the upcoming Bones. The idea behind the three EP's is that each one will have a different theme and then come together at the end to form Owen's first full length album. About the project, Owen says " The album and EP trilogy idea is based on Sigmund Freud's theory that personality is a sum of 3 parts: the Id (acting on raw impulse), the Ego (being terrified of consequences) and the Superego (the balance between the two). The first EP ("Sticks") deals with loss and delusion and the impulsive decisions we make while in the spell of 'love'. The second ("Stones") being a more confident but brash take on love, and finally the last EP ("Bones") is when you have the balance between the two, which mostly leads to more healthy relationships ."
