Brian Deady releases bluesy-gospel stomper & video for ‘Eloise’

Cork singer-songwriter Brian Deady has released a series of great singles drawing from Americana, gospel, blues and soul with tracks like ‘Say When’ and his album Non-Fiction.

‘Eloise’ is another marquee stomper from the man who has been growing into his own role with confidence.

“Eloise is about following your heart, about pursuing your dreams even through the tough times when things aren’t going so well. Eloise – the character in the song embodies all of those things. It’s a story about someone pursuing their destiny and the journey it takes. This is also the first time I’ve ever mixed a song as well as written and produced so I’m really happy with the way it turned out.”

Video Directed by Steve Glashier The song is on ITunes and Nialler9’s New Irish music playlist on Spotify.

He plays a number of Irish and UK dates this year including:

The Imagining Ireland Concert at The National Concert Hall, Dublin on February 3rd
Imagining Ireland Concert, Barbican Centre, London on March 5th
Gateway, Waterford on March 17th
It Takes a Village Festival, Trabolgan on April 14th

Brian Deady returns with the moving ‘Say When’

Cork singer Brian Deady has released his first song since 2015’s album Non-Fiction.

‘Say When’ is a moving song of soul and gospel-leaning proportions about losing someone.

Of the artwork, Deady says his mother is the inspiration:

The artwork is an image of my mother Lucy’s baking tray which she’s worked hard on for most of her life and still uses to this day. Each line in it has history attached to it which I find fascinating. Baking and cooking has always been her way of sharing – her art form and I thought having it as the cover to my art was a nice way to honour that.

The Nialler9 New Irish Music weekly playlist

For the last couple of years, I’ve been compiling an up to date playlist of modern Irish music to celebrate and coincide with St. Patrick’s Day.

So today, I’m launching my New Irish Music weekly playlist which will be regularly updated. Because Irish music isn’t just for Paddy’s Day.

There are songs from artists who have received support from Nialler9 in the last year or so from Brian Deady, Shit Robot, Roisin Murphy, Burnt Out, Saint Sister, I Have A Tribe, Le Galaxie, Rusangano Family, Come On Live Long, Daithi, Jape, Bitch Falcon, Pleasure Beach and many more.

The focus is on Irish music happening now, emerging and trending. I want this to be the definitive collection of new Irish music throughout the year in one place which I’ll be featuring as it comes on the site. Subscribe below.

First Listen: Brian Deady’s soulful & substantial new album Non-Fiction

Cork man Brian Deady has returned to long format album for the first time in six years. Recently, Deady has been showing off his vocal chops with fun doo-wop covers that were followed by a couple of singles, both equally impressive but disparate in style.

‘A Darkness’ opens the album on a melancholic note ruing a failed lover (“take a look at me, I’m drifting out to sea / I’m grieving for the land / I’m drowning for this man / who am I supposed to be?”). “Everyone’s a little fucked up,” Deady concludes, and those downbeat moments rear their head among the shades of soul happiness, energy on Non-Fiction as the seasons pass on the running time.

The high Cee Lo soul of ‘Clap Both My Hands’ stands out in the exuberant stakes, while the stomping blues of ‘Tapes’ isn’t a million miles away from the kind of song that brought Andrew Hozier-Byrne such worldwide success.

‘All Star Cast’ takes on a pitched-down piano-boogie, ‘Silver Moon’ is electronic atmosphere and ‘Dad’ is a baring reflection on a father/son relationship with references to Roy Orbison songs and an indication of how much deeper below the surface Deady is exploring here.

Non-Fiction is released on Friday.
