Abe Soare is a singer songwriter from Limerick. Their unique voice and song-writing talent grasps a room with honesty and vulnerability. Through the ups and downs of life, Abe Soare has learnt to find light in darkness and continues to share their story through music.
Abe plans to release a string of singles throughout 2024, beginning with their new song ‘An Muilte’, out now (Thrusday 28th March 2024).
“An Muilte” serves as a testament to Soare’s journey through transitional phases, penned amidst pivotal moments in their life. Following the culmination of academic pursuits and the dissolution of a romantic entanglement, Soare found themselves standing at the precipice of change. Embarking on a soul-searching pilgrimage to the tranquil shores of the Aran Islands, off the coast of Co. Galway, Soare delved into the depths of introspection amidst the serene landscapes of Inis Mór.
Crafted against the backdrop of this insular idyll, “An Muilte” encapsulates the essence of existential exploration and the quest for self-discovery. Soare’s narrative unfolds through ethereal melodies and poignant lyricism, underscored by the soothing cadence of oceanic waves—a poetic ode to the symbiotic relationship between the self and the natural world.
The song is a reminder that its ok to feel lost and not know who you are, because when you look back on it, the journey is always the fun part.
Speaking about how the song came about, Abe says “It was a mad party and socialising time. When I needed time alone I went to the beach, which was every day. It was a feeling like I was in a waiting room, hoping for something big to happen. AND IT DID. The next few years were a blur of growth. But I always remember sitting on the beach thinking I wonder what is out there for me, that was a beautiful time, a lot of hopeful wonder about the future. I brought my guitar to the beach every day, I think it was the first place I started really connecting with myself and the guitar and the songs.”
“An Muilte” opens with gentle vocals, guitar, and the sound of the sea, exactly the way it was written. With swirling string sections and harmonies, the artist captures the feeling of hope and wondering. The song is a pop ballad with hints of traditional Irish traditional instruments, most certainly influenced by the music that was wafting through the island. The song captures a feeling of good hope and faith through its uplifting full production by Limerick’s own Ben Wanders.
As the inaugural offering in a series of forthcoming singles slated for release throughout 2024, “An Muilte” stands as a testament to Soare’s unwavering commitment to artistic authenticity and emotional resonance.
“I hope this song reminds anyone who listens that’s its ok to not have things figured out , because rarely anyone does. So be nice to yourself.” – Abe Soare
