Kodaline featuring Gabrielle Aplin – Everyone Changes

Fancy a duet?

Irish chart toppers Kodaline team up with honey-tongued English singer/songwriter Gabrielle Aplin for their new single taken from the deluxe version of their album One Day At A Time.

Kodaline says:

“When we wrote ‘Everyone changes’ for our new album we always felt the song would work better as a duet, so with the help of Gabrielle Aplin and her beautiful vocals, here’s the result. We hope you guys like it.”

Kodaline play Malahide Castle on June 27.

Nick says: ‘Line dancing.

N.O.A.H. – Shine

Not to be confused with Noah And The Whale.

N.O.A.H. are an Irish rock trio comprising Ryan Hill (vocals and guitar), Adam Rooney (bass) and Ronan Hynes (drums).

This mysterious Kells, Meath-based video (directed and edited by Mark JD Smyth) for their debut single will keep you wondering what it’s all about (in all senses of the phrase).

Nick says: Don’t be afraid of the Ark.

Revelino – Happiness Is Mine

This video is (literally) a walk in the park.

Cult Dublin band Revelino’s eponymous debut was released in 1994 to great critical acclaim on both sides of the Irish Sea. ‘Happiness is Mine’, “a lost classic of 90s indie-melancholia”, was one of the singles of the year.

The re-mastered album, now available on vinyl for the first time, comes with a bonus ‘Happiness Is Mine ’ 12” yellow vinyl Remix EP.

The album is the best-selling of the week so far on vinyl, and was released on what would have been John’s Lennon’s 80th birthday.

Fingers crossed for Brendan, Bren and the boys.

Nick says: Walkin’ back to happiness.

A special mention too for actress Roisín O’Donovan, the star of Luke Byrne’s excellent accompanying video.

Nick says: We like.

Fiachna Ó Braonáin – Bottle Of Rum

Float on.

RTÉ broadcaster and Hothouse Flower Fiachna (top) has just released the four-song Winter Sun EP with self-penned seafaring folk tune Bottle Of Rum as the single.

Niall Meehan provides the hypnotic wave footage while musicians Clare Sands and fellow Flower Martin Brunsden also feature.

Nick says: Raise a glass.

Fia Moon – Let This Go

You may remember Irish singer/songwriter Fia Moon (top) as one of the voices on the recent chart-topping cover of The Cranberries hit Dreams by Irish Women In Harmony.

Now she’s back with a new single and lyric video.

Fia says:

“It’s about accepting things for what they are and learning to let go of things that don’t make you happy. When you’re so comfortable in a situation, it can be really hard to detach yourself and recognize that you need to walk away and let go of the things that are ultimately holding you down.”

Nick says: Moon struck.

BK Pepper – Colours

Don’t shoot the piano player.

Dublin contemporary classical composer BK Pepper (top) performs his new single ahead of the release of his album Territories next month.

Influenced by the likes of Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm, Pepper combines supreme melody with real emotion.

BK says:

“The theme of Territories reflects how borders have become increasingly visible in recent years, with migration, trade disputes and now a global pandemic reshaping how territories are perceived, defined and enforced around the world.”

Nick says: Worth his salt.
