Following the release of the celebrated ‘La Lune’ and ‘Le Soleil’ singles, RTE Radio1 Folk Award nominee (Best Emerging Artist category 2022), Ciara O’Neill releases new track ‘Woman’, the first single taken from her upcoming EP of the same name, coming 8th May 2024.
Co-written with NI songwriter Ciaran Lavery and produced by Belfast based producer/composer Dan Byrne-McCullough, Ciara says:
“Woman is an exploration of the beauty and complexities of being a Woman in modern society. Looking at myself, my own female relatives and those Women in history who have lived lives in the shadows, it’s about having a desire for more, not feeling the need to conform to expectations placed on us and allowing ourselves to be visible and speak our truths.”
If Ciara O’Neill’s music has one central theme it is her voice, one that silences a room with the first note as well as her heartfelt crafted lyricism never shying away from emotions that are both uncomfortable and universal. The new EP will be sure to appeal to fans of her older material as well as fans of other well-loved artists Lisa Hannigan and Juliet Turner.
Following on from the success of her last EP where single ‘La Lune’ topped the BBC Radio Ulster and RTE Radio 1 airplay charts and her subsequent nomination for Best Emerging Artist at the 2022 RTE Radio1 Folk awards, it’s an exciting time for Ciara to be releasing new music.
Ciara O’Neill will release her EP ‘Woman’ Wednesday 8th May 2024.
Ciara will celebrate a live EP launch show at the Linenhall, Belfast, 24th May 2024.
