‘Every Minute After Midnight’ is the new single from Mark Hegan, a singer-songwriter who splits his time between Belfast, Bangor and London. Taking inspiration from fellow Bangor boys Two Door Cinema Club and Snow Patrol, this track mixes glistening pop production with intensely personal lyrics.
‘Every Minute After Midnight’ is about coming to terms with the self-destructive side of his personality, creating an honest and emotive track that’s lifted by an upbeat melody.With this song, Mark Hegan is showing that he knows how to make shiny pop music with substance.
Little Rivers is the project of Belfast native Callum Cairns. His music is born from a fascination with poetry, and is sonically inspired by the likes of Bon Iver, James Vincent McMorrow and James Blake.
These influences definitely come across in this haunting track. A collaboration with fellow Belfast based beat-maker Oscar Waves, ‘Skeleton’ is a fragile, moody and intimate portrait of a troubled relationship.
‘Broken Vessel’ is the first outing from 22 year old singer-songwriter Sasha Samara. Fresh from the Oh Yeah Centre’s talent development programme ‘Scratch My Progress’, ‘Broken Vessel’ is a heartfelt debut, showcasing Sasha’s soulful voice and charming lyricism.
She’s even joined by Belfast’s funkiest rhythm section, Peter Close and Jamie Hewitt of Jealous of the Birds, bringing bags of energy to her dreamy first single.
