Irish singer, producer and musician Elaine Mai hasn’t released much music in her own name since 2014 but there’s been remixes and collaborations to delve into and Mai also wrote and produced the music for a play by Vickey Curtis for the Fringe Festival called Finem Respice.
Now, Mai is back with some new music in her own name from a forthcoming EP called The Colour Of The Night out in 2017.
‘Enniscrone’ is a warm and escapist electronic instrumental, named after the Sligo seaside town where Mai would spend her childhood summers. The track is a suitably hazy and positive mood to match the title – “the feeling of being young and not having a care in the world.”
