H O M E T I M E’s new single BURN THE PHOTOGRAPH is a slinky slab of skittering electronica with a positive message at its core: make peace with your past; learn from it; step away from the toxicity. Whether it’s a failed relationship, a burning building, or a spat with online idiots – save yourself. Run hell for leather. The past is a place, not an anchor.
So far, radio stations in America, Canada, Israel, UK, Switzerland, South Africa, and Australia have spun the track – some stations repeatedly. Ireland is starting to catch up and some welcome airplay has been confirmed. Repeat airplay in both.
HOMETIME has been steadily building a buzz and an audience. The feelgood last single, WHAT YOU WANTED spent two weeks at the top of Canada’s gay chart, The Q32, and a total of five months on its Top 20.
The single before that, IT BEATS LIVING ALONE, recently re-entered the listeners’ Top 50 on francophone radio station LRdR, broadcasting to Switzerland, France and Belgium, reaching a new peak of No.10. First single, GRATITUDE – a cool slice of house-scented pop – opened some radio station doors for HOMETIME internationally, but it was second release, THE SOUND OF HEARTBREAK, that finally cracked the tough nut of Irish radio, gaining airplay on 2FM and RTE Radio 1. It also made best-of-year lists by Irish and American radio stations.
HOMETIME is the pop project of Dublin singer/songwriter, Tony Kavanagh. A proudly queer artist, HOMETIME has featured in LGBTQ media at home and abroad. He’s been invited to be part of a multi-artist album project in the States, kicking off late this year – with a related TV special mooted for early/mid 2024. Writing for himself and with/for others, HOMETIME’s work on début album, Syllables, is nearing completion.
