Emer Dunne - Daisy | Alternative Fruit

Emer Dunne
Daisy


This brilliant new single from Emer Dunne's forthcoming album is hitting the airwaves as we speak. Since its release at the end of March, the track went to number 1 in the Irish iTunes charts and reached the twelve-spot on the Homegrown Weekly Charts. A cover-version of the popular Karine Polwart number, this modern version reinvents the body for its traditional soul. Having been broadcast across RTE 1 and Radio Ulster, the world is already getting a taste of this up-and-coming export.


It begins with a splash of cymbals, uplifting drums, guitar, and harmonica. Emer Dunne begins to sing, the lyrics are crystal clear and pin-point on scale. A folk-rock attitude builds through the progression, strumming chords and sweeping harmonisations create a swaying atmosphere of merry charm. Advice for a young woman, Daisy lets us know that there are plenty of different souls in the world and they're not all like us. Try not to think about what's going on with them, just watch what they do. So don't think at all.. well, when it comes to those of us who don't fit the groove, don't spare a thought. That's how I would interpret that. What do you think?


Catchy and country, it's a laid-back yet full-on musical experience.
