Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy is back with new music this week as he gets real about the trials and tribulations of the past year and a half as he hopes for ‘Better Days’.
The new single comes with the kind of optimism and hope Dermot has always been so forthcoming with throughout his career, providing support and solace to so many. Produced by Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo ‘Driver’s Licence’), ‘Better Days’ also features a Gaelic backing choir, who whilst chanting the words “courage and calm” in their native tongue build into a chorus that’s guaranteed to be a live favourite on Dermot’s upcoming UK and US tours.
“This is a song about patience. It’s about believing in something brighter, and never losing sight of better days, no matter how hard things might get. In a time where so many people feel worried and exhausted, I would love for this song to remind even one person that things will improve,” Dermot says. As an artist, I feel somewhat responsible to try to make people feel a little better, whether that’s making them think of someone they love, or just taking their mind off their problems for the length of a song. So this is my contribution to hopefully providing some people with a moment’s solace. Better days will come.”
