‘God Help Him (Seemingly He Didn’t)’ is out today.
Strange Boy, real name Jordan McNally Kelly has released the song ‘God Help Him (Seemingly He Didn’t)’ made with close collaborator Enda Gallery who sings on the track too.
‘God Help Him (Seemingly He Didn’t)’ is a sparse hymnal, informed by Irish traditional music (as much of Strange Boy’s music is) and with Strange Boy’s trademark lyrical heft. It’s a scene setting what’s to come, from forthcoming 2025 second album Say Nothin’, also produced by Gallery.
