Niamh Regan‘s “Madonna” is a perfect swirl of thoughts, memories, and pondering. The newest track from the Irish singer-songwriter slowly wanders between a strummed acoustic guitar, distant keys, a resonating synth and Regan’s delicate vocals with ease. There’s a freedom in the flow of these lyrics and this melody that make this song enduringly captivating. From almost whispered vocals to a punch of guitar in a moment’s notice, “Madonna” maintains an emotional push and pull that is easy to get swept up in. As the lyrics focus on violence often suffered by women, the song proceeds with needed patience.
“Madonna” is a track from Niamh Regan’s second album, ‘Come As You Are’, which is due out 31st May 2024 on Faction Records. The above video was shot by Daniel Maggio. Listen to more from Niamh Regan in the meantime here.
