Chart-topping artist John Gallen is set to captivate audiences once again with his highly anticipated second album, Rizla Smokes, Music & Wine. As a precursor to this much-anticipated release, Gallen has dropped the release of lead single, Miracle Without Shoes. This first taster further showcases Gallen’s distinctive songwriting skills, musical prowess, and original vocal style. The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist garnered recognition with his debut album; ‘1970s’, which debuted at No.1 in the Independent Irish Album Chart & at No.5 in the official Irish Album Chart last year.
Speaking of the lead track from the new album, John says: “Miracle without Shoes is my take on those I’ve known in life who struggle on a fine line between genius and breakdown, it’s a message that says ‘mind yourself’. I’ve taken a new route with the upcoming second record and look forward to sharing it far and wide on record and through live shows.” With Rizla Smokes, Music & Wine, Gallen aims to further push the boundaries of his artistry, delivering a collection of a further twelve songs that embody authenticity, introspection, and sonic excellence. Produced by Billy Farrell & with a who’s who of session players on the album, including Gerry Leonard of David Bowie fame, you’re invited to join the next chapter of John’s musical journey.
Miracle Without Shoes is released today, September 1st.
