Catchy Tunes and Heartfelt Emotions: Moncrieff's Debut Album
An uncensored take on the rising Irish artist
Summertime Tune Composition by Moncrieff - Musician Moncrieff to deliver a summer-infused soundtrack.
Hailing from the land of beer and folklore, Ireland churns out talent like a fine whiskey distillery. One such gem is Moncrieff, a charmer from the south, making daughters blush and parents cringe with his latest album, "Maybe It's Fine." This dude's about to dominate radio waves and shatter heartstrings. In November, he heads to Germany for a jaw-dropping nine-gig tour.
Genre, Tune Count, Run Time:
Based in London, this boundary-defying belter rocks the playlist between soul, R&B, pop, and electronica. The album houses twelve bops, lasting approximately forty minutes.
The Tunes:
"Maybe It's Fine" is a delightful potpourri of catchy hooks, perfect for summer days and sleepless nights. But don't be fooled by the rainbows and sunshine — there's some hard-hitting reality under that cheerful surface. Exhibit A: "Something to You," which kicks off like a campfire serenade at a kegger, and "Hard Feelings," a track that'll make Harry Styles question his manhood. The rugged title track echoes the raw vulnerability of Moncrieff's early work.
Life Lessons:
Moncrieff's songs, from his EPs and this smash debut, are about as authentic as a granny's apple pie. They dip into theDepths of love, self-love, romance, interpersonal shenanigans, loss, and damn near depression. And he ain't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. Moncrieff lost his sister and brother within a mere deux years, as a teenager. He champions causes like mental health and self-discovery, spreading awareness with his tunes like a folk hero spreading fire.
The Moniker:
He may go by Moncrieff now, but this Irish charmer's actual name is Chris Breheny. He snatched that moniker off a posh London banker after a tear-jerking performance that left the gent in a puddle of emotion.
The Choir:
Moncrieff's magnum opus isn't just catchy as hell; it's endorsement-worthy, too. Adele enlisted his backing vocals for a BBC performance, while Elton John and the late Avicii praised his unique style. They even planned a collaborative session, before Avicii's untimely demise in '18.
Bach to Basics:
Growing up in old County Waterford, Moncrieff was the odd one out among sports-obsessed peers. He traded hurling sticks for chords, leaving the rugby field behind for the stage. After studying law, music finally set him free after years spent in that All-Boys School of Hell.
The Peacock:
Moncrieff doesn't play by the bourgeoisie's rules, neither musically nor sexually. He's as agile as a catwalk model, with a fierce sense of individuality. He's not shy to showcase his flair for four-inch heels, nail polish, and a hurley stick.
The Tracks, Summed Up:
The album's closer, "How It Ends," will leave you a weeping mess. "Holding On" is a gospel ballad guaranteed to rip open your emotion-filled heart. "Float," a soul-stirring tune delving deep into self-doubt, is about accepting oneself and shedding that self-imposed weight.
For Whom:
Fans of One Direction's resident dreamboat, Harry Styles, and Taylor Swift's icy queen will find solace in this album. If you're into pop-infused R&B, with a generous dollop of soul and emotion, Moncrieff's your man.
