Rising Irish artists Craig Cooney and Rowlette are spreading the festive spirit with their new track ‘December’. 2020 has been a big year for both artists. ‘December’ marks indie-pop artist Rowlette’s fourth release this year, with previous singles being added to Spotify editorial playlists (including Fresh Pop, Pop Right Now and New Music Friday), performing alongside Jack L, being RTE Culture Tune of the Day twice and packing out her first headline show. Craig Cooney has been pursuing music professionally for the past three years and has multiple headline shows under his belt. His fifth ever show was in the Olympia Theatre supporting Gavin James.

‘December’ is an earnest, catchy blend of hip hop and pop as Rowlette’s soulful vocals and Craig Cooney’s fluid raps merge to create an uplifting number. The track floats upon a delicate piano refrain while swirling electronics create a magical soundscape for the vocals to flourish within. Angelic pop sweetness is provided by Rowlette’s warm vocals and the wistful melody as Cooney’s hip hop and rap provides a raw, jagged quality to the track. Melodic and richly crafted ‘December’ is an impressive song from Rowlette and Craig Cooney.
