Last year, we premiered the video for Sarah Buckley‘s ‘Full Moon‘, a song that explored the uncertainties around new relationships. This Friday sees the release of Irish alt-folk singer-songwriter’s new single ‘Magic Powers’, which once more explores an angle on relationships that is more grounded…where everyday existence is made to feel magical – “Normal days are up in lights when you’re spending them with me It’s champagne in a mug when you’re giving me my tea.”
Sarah tells us: On the move a lot at the time, Magic Powers is about meeting someone that made you feel you could stand still following a restless period. It talks about how the company of the right person can make the mundane seem special and the tricky parts of life more manageable.
The accompanying visualiser video plays on those themes of transformation and magic.
Over the past year, Sarah has been collaborating and recording with some of Ireland’s leading music producers, Karl Odlum (David Kitt, Gemma Hayes), Darragh Nolan (Ailbhe Reddy) & Richey McCourt (LAOISE, Will Young), which will culminate in the release of two sister EPs in the coming months which are sure to raise her profile beyond Ireland’s shores.
