The latest track from the Dublin songstress Fiona Lennon, Fí shares her latest single “All I Have”. A track wrapped within its dreamy dysphoria, “All I Have” with its visual lyricism fixates on attachment to an ex-lover. With the severity of its pertinent piano chords and sweeping textures contrasted to the heavenly carry of Fiona’s vocals, “All I Have” writes a bewildering soundtrack to its conflicted emotion. Speaking on the what inspired the vocal emotion behind her latest track, Fí had this to tell us:

'All I Have' is made to feel like a memory with a voice memo at the start from New Years’ and references to the past; the sweater, photographs, getting drunk and Christmas, etc. It's the most diary-like song I've written and it's about all the emotions after something ends and all you have are those moments and memories left.”

You can check out “All I Have” alongside her the bursting emotion behind the consoling emotion of previous single “Feel Better”:

It’s a land that’s filled with mystery and wonder, written by its Celtic traditions that date before the very notion of time itself. It’s this whimsical nature that permeates through its people and for our brief little run down, we feature a troika of three very different artists.

Fí - Éalú

The Irish-Gaelic word for “escape”, “Éalú” is detailed by the shake, shaken, shook of Mullingar, Ireland’s Fiona Lennon of Fí. The force of her vocal prowess is broken over the whimsical harp of its two-step garage beat, in the tremendous show of force that is “Éalú”:

Driven by the warming heat of its dark, euphoric glisten, “Control” is the latest track from Sligo, Ireland based DJ Rachel McGrath. Synth upsurge is decked out by hip-hop drums and massive bass pound on track “Control”:

Corrina Jaye & PaSv - What Do You Want?

Under the rush of its beating snap, Dublin’s Corrina Jaye sends forth the forceful echo track “What Do You Want”. Featuring Swedish musician Patrik Svensson of PaSV and produced by R.E.M. producer Tom Fall, the track is an enigmatic push of Corrina’s sweet wispy shiver and deep penetrating percussion.
