NEW EP ‘FOREVER YOUNG’, OUT OCTOBER 29TH
LISTEN TO ‘COME ON OVER’ HERE
Following up the enormous response to his previously shared singles ‘Your Heart’s Not In It’ and ‘Forever Young’ in recent months, fast-rising Jersey born / Irish singer and songwriter Tadhg Daly is now continuing the support for his highly-anticipated new EP with the sweeping new single ‘Come On Over’.
Channelling the same raw and heartfelt emotion we have heard from him so far, ‘Come On Over’ continues that broad and euphoric direction he is cultivating for himself. With his rich and euphoric voice layered effortlessly over a bed of smooth and wistful guitar playing, he is proving once again why so many are turning onto him of late.
Speaking about the offering, Tadhg said, "I kind of wrote this song about feeling like a loser.. I had this scene in my head of sitting around in a dimly lit apartment at 3am smoking a cigarette texting an ex-girlfriend. At its core I think it’s about watching someone move on with their life whilst you're stuck in a rut, all the while understanding they need to move on, but wanting to be their "in between"."
Throughout the last year, Tadhg Daly has been in pursuit of creating a more adventurous and textured approach to the alt-pop sound, and this is exactly what we can expect to hear on ‘Forever Young’. The new five-track EP looks to tell his own unique tale of overcoming adversity and battling personal demons, all of which have led him towards a career in music as he looks to present himself in a raw and more intimate guise.
Since the announcement of Tadhg's forthcoming EP, he has generated enormous media support including a feature with RTE, CLASH’s fantastic video premiere for ‘Forever Young’, news coverage on The Irish Post, Song of the Day on Record of the Day, a fantastic interview with Euphoria Magazine, Hot Press support and so much more. Not to mention recent support from Wonderland, The Independent, Official Charts, Atwood Mag and many more.

Ever since he was a child, it was clear that music was firmly in Tadhg Daly’s makeup. Coming from an enormous family based in Jersey & Ireland, many of his relatives were keen musicians and actors, which made it easy for him to grow creatively in his early years. Picking up the trumpet at the age of nine, he was hooked on creating and performing music, something that he kept up until a sports injury changed his life forever.
When he was thirteen, he broke his leg during a football match, which left him in a cast for eight months. With not much else to do except delve further into his musical passions, he began to grow a taste for rock and punk music. By the time he returned to school, he had fully embraced the alternative scene and began to perform in a number of local bands doing the rounds. Something his old friends didn’t understand and so he began to hang out with people more interested in his newfound obsession. But this new persona he had taken on made him a target at school and eventually led to him dropping out.
Things never got much easier after that. Feeling despondent and an outsider in his own community, he found himself a part of the wrong crowd and quickly developed a drug dependency by the age of sixteen. With no purpose or path to follow, he fell deeper and deeper into a depression, which fed his habit and left him heading in and out of hospital continuously.
Now after a number of years of recovery and personal growth, and building momentum with his hometown audience, he headed to London to find his place and learn the musician's craft. This led to the release of his first EP, and first taste of attention from major media such as BBC Radio 1 and Radio Scotland, and gave him the opportunity to play a number of major festivals alongside support shows with James Morrison and James Blunt and touring through Europe.
Following the promotion and experience of his first commercial output, and with the confidence of finding his voice and focusing his talents, Tadhg became studious to the songwriting cause and throughout 2020 when the world was in lockdown he holed himself up in an East London studio. Between heavy periods of government control his room became a revolving door of the capital's brightest songwriter and producer talent with the resulting work distilled in a new EP and prolific archive of songs.
As we move into 2021, with the machinery in place for his career to develop he is quickly becoming one of the most talked about new artists of the moment.
