    Róisín O: Hold On (Video)

    RoisinOThere aren’t many songs or voices that make me go Wow! This song is something really really special. It’s haunting, encouraging, sensitive and caring and comes from Róisín O. It beautifully tells of feeling the anguish of not being able to help someone close to you. Stunning.

    The video directed by Simon Euctace was unveiled this week along with some other news.

    Róisín has signed a record deal with JSM in Germany, and her debut album ‘The Secret Life of Blue’ will be released in Germany, Austria & Switzerland on October 4th. Nice work! She’s just back from the US and is about to head of on tour in Germany with Ryan Sheridan.

    Róisin also plays her biggest headline show to date in Dublin with a show on October 18th in Whelans. Grab those tickets while you can!

  • Stephanie Rainey: The One Review

    Stephanie Rainey‘The One’ is the debut single from Stephanie Rainey. The Cork chaunteuse has a clear crisp vocals and the track is reminiscent of early Kelly Clarkson with a slight AOR twinge. It’s a mid tempo track and a really good debut. Rainey writes well for her voice and production on the track is very clean, almost too clean, a nice dirty guitar slightly higher in the mix would do the trick. As a debut single though, this shows Rainey as a competent songwriter.

    ‘Hold On’ builds up beautifully and shows Stephanie Rainey as potentially a fantastic artist. On this track Rainey shows variations in her voice and understanding of a decent song structure. I’d like to hear a slightly grittier musical backing to counterbalance Rainey’s pure vocals but this is a great start from the Cork lady.
