Belfast based producer, singer and songwriter Still Searching (Sam Stevenson) and alt folk singer songwriter Tiernan release their new captivating single ‘Belfast Blues’, out 6th September 2024.
Following on from a collaboration in 2023 that came in the form of a remix, longtime friends and collaborators Tiernan and Still Searching join forces again to deliver this upbeat powerful alt pop gem. Featuring both singers, the track weaves a narrative of apathy and adopting aimless mindframes, questioning one’s own direction and purpose throughout. Sonically rich textures encompass and strengthen the message of this track with creative vocal effects and syncopated percussion. It is a track that mirrors the restlessness that often accompanies feelings of isolation and uncertainty.
Still Searching (Sam Stevenson) displays an ever-changing sphere of influence, respecting the craft and the drive towards self-sufficiency. This is always where Stevenson has dwelled as a creative. Time and time again he delivers a strong expression of personal independence. Alongside his deep dive of the space between the hardships of the human condition in the digital age, and searching for the moments that make life worth living, Still Searching draws from his surroundings, penning topics that are meaningful to him. Gathered from both his own earthly experiences and those of his friends and family, he is stamping his distinct take on a polished indie-pop sound.
Tiernan is an alt folk artist who draws from traditional Irish and global contemporary influences. Lyrical themes of reflection and growth or backed by intricate guitar to create a warm and expressive sound.
