Maighréad

Maighréad is a London based ElectroPop artist who recently released her début EP, ‘In the Beginning’ alongside Disco Damage.

The Irish-born singer is currently hard at work on the video for ‘In The Beginning’, until then check out some of what she has on offer. The single is a pounding Electro track that displays Maighréad’s vocals to have a lot more soul than I would have expected. With something of an Irish Billie Ray Martin quality to her voice I can imagine Maighréad is a fantastic singer live (I hope to find out in the future). There’s a bit of Annie Lennox in there too, albeit with a Limerick twang that gives the vocals a unique twist on the classic huge pop delivery. All this juxtaposes quite nicely with the Maxi Jazz-esq rhyming on ‘In The Beginning’. ‘Sea’, one of Maighréad’s previous tracks, is actually my favourite. It’s pure Eurythmics (and seeing as how Eurythmics haven’t been Eurythmics for years, there is a need for someone to be making this kind of music). Cold, harsh synths are perfectly tempered by Maighréad’s warm vocals giving the track an light-in-the-darkness- feel to it.
