Gavin Doyle has released his new single ‘Redamancy’. The Dubliner’s highly anticipated single was recorded and produced by Doyle himself during lockdown. It was mixed by Philip McGee (Kodaline, Wild Youth), and mastered by Simon Francis (Kodaline, Kylie Minogue, High Flying Birds). A natural flair for music has led to Doyle being a highly regarded session musician. He has performed with Heroes in Hiding all over Europe, including a support slot with Picture This in The Olympia Theatre.Doyle established himself as a promising solo artist in early 2020 releasing ‘Before the Fall’ to critical acclaim.

‘Redamancy’ is utterly heartbreaking and melancholic as Gavin Doyle expresses tender emotion through a beautiful backdrop of twinkling keys, graceful strings and lush backing vocals. As the song progresses the tone drifts into a euphoria of hope aided by uplifting soundscapes while Doyle coos heartfelt lyrics over a sombre melody. There are elements of grace and elegance expressed through lamenting strings, warm guitar and steady drums which glimmer through the mournful melody while undertones of traditional and country hues collide with twinkling pop moments to create a full bodied, emotional sound which is as heart warming as it is painful and moving. A fantastic display of production and artistry – ‘Redamancy’ is a beautifully raw new track from Gavin Doyle. 

Talking about the single Doyle said :” I almost cast this song aside as I felt it was too bleak/complaintive. It wasn’t until myself and a good friend were exchanging songs late one night that he reacted strongly to the rough demo I had made. He helped me realise that I wasn’t complaining, I was merely being honest. So, maybe me being honest about some of my darker emotions will help to normalise the subject for others.”
