“’Delicate’ is the latest hypnotic indie-pop offering from the Dublin singer songwriter… ‘Delicate’ boasts a beautiful lyrical and musical circularity that will keep you humming it long after you’ve heard it.” – Niamh Browne, Hot Press Magazine
Miranda Faul is set to release her latest single, “You Would Have Let Me Down”, on Friday 11th October 2024. This will be her last single release ahead of her highly-anticipated debut EP, “Rise & Run”, which is out on November 8th 2024.
Speaking on “You Would Have Let Me Down”, Miranda says ‘You Would Have Let Me Down is a song about ending a relationship in the early stages before someone can hurt you. Your rationale for doing so is vague. You think you’ve seen some red flags in their behavior, and you feel vulnerable to being hurt by them, you want to protect yourself. But you also wonder if you’re leaving too early, running from imagined problems, because you’ve let someone get close and it scares you. Still, you’ve chosen to leave, and you’re facing the consequences of that. It’s addressed to the person you’re leaving, as an explanation and an apology of sorts.
I wrote it in May when I was right in the middle of deciding to leave a romantic situation. I hadn’t figured out what I thought or wanted yet, so it came from a confused and vulnerable place. I recorded it shortly after and didn’t rewrite any lyrics with more clarity or perspective, and I think that that has given it a truthful temperance. It was produced by Cian Sweeney. At a peak, there are 23 layers of harmony on the track; I wanted to build a warm, swirling vocal wall. Cian filled the track with dark, atmospheric layers of piano, acoustic guitar, synth, strings, & percussion, building from a stripped intro to a dramatic peak. We tried to convey the emotional drama of that moment of leaving someone.’
