Listen Sinead O’Brien shares new track ‘Strangers In Danger’

She’s also unveiled the details of her debut EP ‘Drowning In Blessings’.
Irish poet Sinead O’Brien has confirmed that her debut EP ‘Drowning In Blessings’ will be landing on 16th September, sharing new track ‘Strangers In Danger’ to celebrate the news.
Explaining the song, she details, “I had a strange epiphany during a gig. ‘Plastic flowers in bloom and the sound of soccer’. I couldn’t make sense of it - I wrote it down and later began to take it apart. It’s about a kind of duality where something is divided by having two apparently conflicting meanings. A feeling is mirrored in an external scene and illustrated in another language. The image simplifies the problem because it just is. It exists. With all of its complexities and contradictions. I felt connected to various images and occurrences around me and began sound-tracking these mini scenarios.”
“Scenes play out in windows, on streets, inside homes; It’s about spaces, claiming personal space in the city, naming things, bringing them closer. Feeling out the distance and tension between people. You are carried through the rooms and immersed in the different levels and sequences of the piece. I experience it in a linear format from left to right - like a stretched out painting.”
