Irish folk-pop artist Polly Barrett has released her new single ‘Thinking About You’. Polly Barrett began her music career 15 years ago, writing songs while training to be an actor in London. Her return to Ireland in 2007 brought Barrett into the bosom of the Irish music scene, seeing her release two albums, ‘Mr. Bookshop’ in 2011 and ‘Probably Me’ in 2014, and tour Ireland and the UK extensively. This included touring with artists like Agnes Obel, Julie Felix, Roddy Woomble, Cara Luft, founding member of the Wailin’ Jennys and Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Wadge who wrote ‘Thinking Out Loud’ with Ed Sheeran.’Thinking About You’ is the first of a series of releases planned for the rest of 2021 as Barrett returns to writing and recording new music from her home on the Mizen Peninsula in West Cork.

‘Thinking About You’ is a wholesome folk-pop tune that oozes the rich, emotive sound of Polly Barrett. Softly plucked guitar and minimalist instrumentation drifts over an earnest, earthy melody to create a soothing and engaging listening experience. As the song ventures from lulling verses to the catchy chorus, delicate harmonies and rhythmic guitar strums inject lush undertones and foot-tapping moments into the mix. Barrett’s vocals hold their own within ‘Thinking About You’. The artist’s voice is simply a joy to listen to. Her delicate lilts and charming folk tones aptly express the emotion within the lyrics “You might not think it but I’m crying on the inside”. ‘Thinking About You’ is a catchy and well-crafted gem from Polly Barrett. Press play and enjoy.
