HamsandwicH
Electro ~ Wave
HamsandwicH release of their brand new single “Electro~Wave,” a delicious slice of electro-pop with a cheeky hint of 80s attitude and bravado! It is the band’s first new single in three years and is the first track to be released from their upcoming new as-of-yet untitled album which will be out in the Spring 2022
Denise Chaila
Energy
‘Energy’ sees one of Ireland’s hottest rappers strip things right back and display her artistic range as she allows her vocals to take centre-stage, the refrain ‘you can’t take my energy’ as much a warning as it is an affirmation.
Jack O’Rourke
Sea Swimming
Sea Swimming by Jack O’Rourke is inspired by the traditional music he played as a child. There’s a sensuality to the sea. As Jack said: “When I sing, “Sea Swimming, it’s fitting, with sunlight dancing on your skin, naked as a morning with you again”, It’s about connecting and being intimate and trusting with someone you love.” Taken from jack's album Wild Place which is released today (5h November).
Lucy Blue
First Man On The Moon
Lucy Blue’s latest single ‘First Man OnThe Moon’ is a gorgeous piano ballad that perfectly encapsulates that feeling of loneliness in a crowd. ‘I don’t feel homesick, I just feel sick of never feeling at home’ she sings with bewitchingly beautiful vocals over the piano, whilst musing on how it must feel to be the first man on the moon gazing down at the earth.
Throwback: Miracle Bell
Light Shaped Sound
Released as a single back in May 2011, Light Shaped Sound was the title track to Miracle Bell’s brilliant 2010 album of the same name. If you’ve never heard the band before, you're in for a treat!
