Dublin born singer-songwriter Eoin Glackin returns with his new single ‘El Dorado’.The new single builds on the momentum of ‘Before the Rain’, which garnered major radio support across Ireland and the UK from the like of Today FM, Spin 103.8, 98FM as well as TalkRadio and BBC. A relentless tourer with three acclaimed albums under his belt, he has shared the road with legendary acts such as The Darkness, Joan Armatrading and most recently, Irish icons, Aslan.

‘El Dorado’ radiates cosy vibes, warm guitar and a steady beat as Glackin blends rich elements of folk, country and indie to create a heartwarming tune saturated in nostalgia and wholesome songwriting. Soft keys twinkle between the foot tapping beat, lush backing vocals and sweet melodies while Glackin’s soothing vocals coo the dreamy melody. The song is a story of friendship in the face of the greatest adversity and Glackin builds the uplifting and hopeful tones superbly. ‘El Dorado’ is an emotive and beautiful new single from Eoin Glackin.

The genesis for El Dorado, a story of unbreakable friendship, is best explained by the writer himself: “I was hanging out with a friend the evening after I wrote it. We were passing a guitar back and forth, so I played it for him. He looked at me when I was finished and asked, ‘Is that about me?’ I just replied, ‘Now you mention it, I think it is!’ When we were about 10, he became very sick. He had a rough time but thankfully came out on the other end. I wasn’t sure where this story came from in my head, but now I do. This story of unbreakable friendship is for him.”
