Somebody’s Child has shared new single ‘Broken Record’.
The Irish songwriter – Cian Godfrey – struck out on his own, releasing a plethora of fantastic indie pop ear-worms. The 2020 lockdown brought his excellent ’20-Something’ EP, a release that seemed to catapult him to a new level.
Revered independent label Frenchkiss Records have swooped to sign the songwriter, with the imprint’s founder and president Syd Butler commenting: “Frenchkiss is thrilled to be able to work with Somebody’s Child. I love their ability to layer both mature songwriting with vulnerability. This kind of authenticity is something that I find is lacking in much of today’s music. Somebody’s Child provides this exact element that is still needed, both in recording and playing live. They are nothing short of amazing.”
A huge batch of tour dates have been announced, with Somebody’s Child inaugurating this fresh chapter with ‘Broken Record’. Out now, the new single pivots between joyous indie pop melodies and crunching guitar lines, with Somebody’s Child using this space to explore emerging adulthood, and the importance of retaining your innocence.
The full video is online now, with Cian commenting:
“It explores my fear of growing up. Getting older and feeling trapped, attempting to reconnect with my former self and trying to regain a sense of innocence that was once taken for granted.”
Tune in now.
