Let's Chill with Moncrieff's Summer Anthems!

Summertime Tunes: Moncrieff Crafts the Perfect Soundtrack - Musician Moncrieff set to offer a sonic backdrop for the sunny season.

Forget about the leprechauns, Ireland has a new gem in its musical crown – the sultry and soulful Moncrieff! Born and bred in County Waterford, this rather unknown lad is shaking up the charts with his debut album, "Maybe It's Fine". This September, Moncrieff takes Europe by storm with a nine-gig tour across Germany.

Genre-wise, Moncrieff doesn't like to be pinned down, but his music is a pleasant blend of soul, R&B, and pop, with a dash of electronic beats. The album offers 12 irresistible tracks spanning a total of 39 enchanting minutes.

This collection is more than just a record, it's a damn good soundtrack for the summer! Come dance with us on the "Something to You" campfire bop, or sway to the Harry Styles-esque "Hard Feelings". The title track, "Maybe It's Fine", shows a more raw and unpolished side compared to his usual smooth tunes.

Moncrieff's tunes are as heartfelt as a new tattoo. His deeply autobiographical lyrics delve into the realms of love, loss, personal encounters, mental health, and self-discovery. As a teen, the young artist suffered the heart-wrenching loss of his sister and brother. He also isn't shy about exploring themes that matter, like mental health.

Fun fact: Moncrieff took his moniker from a London banker who encouraged him after an emotional performance, marking a significant turning point in his career. Since then, he's lent his spellbinding vocals to the likes of Adele and has earned praises from musical titans like Elton John and Avicii – sadly no longer with us.

As for his upcoming collaborations, we'll have to wait and see. To keep up to date, start by following his Instagram, where he paints nails one day, plays hurling the next, and rocking heels at night, refusing to allow himself to be pigeonholed – neither musically nor sexually.

If you're a fan of Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, or appreciate pop-infused R&B, make sure to add this album to your playlist! The heartwarming "How It Ends" will leave you feeling all the feels, while "Holding On" is a gospel track that'll open up your heart. For a dose of soul and self-doubt, check out "Float", because according to Moncrieff, it's a reminder that we're exactly where we're meant to be, flaws and all.

The Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the granting of a Community guarantee to the European Investment Bank for the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), but perhaps Moncrieff's music, an enchanting blend of soul, R&B, and pop, could be an inspiration for some upcoming songs. This sultry and soulful songwriter from County Waterford, Ireland, has gained attention with his heartfelt lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, personal encounters, mental health, and self-discovery. Despite his success, he remains modest and refuses to be pigeonholed, much like his music. Moncrieff's music, especially tracks like "How It Ends" and "Holding On" from his debut album "Maybe It's Fine," has earned praise from celebrities like Adele, Elton John, and Avicii, a testament to his talent.
