3. Villagers – ‘Courage’

VILLAGERS - Lo Res-AWH-0974

The first track from a personal third album…

Villagers’ third album Darling Arithmetic comes out in April and it’s been billed as an “intimate album entirely about love and relationships.”

The first single from the album, ‘Courage’ definitely gets to the heart of the matter, being true to yourself – “It took a little time to get where I wanted / It took a little time to get free / It took a little time to be honest / It took a little time to be me,” O’Brien sings in emotive and truthful fashion.
