Julie Feeney
Julie Feeney’s artful chamber pop is surely one of the freshest sounds in Irish music, with its delicate palate of strings, muted brass and woodwinds that provide the background colours for one of Ireland’s most original performers and songwriters. This particular Galway girl has the wind at her back, bolstered by unanimous acclaim for Pages, the new CD which looks set to eclipse her debut 13 Songs, which garnered a Choice Music Prize. It marks a quantum step in her evolution, especially as composer, where she is pushing on for musical terrain that is rarely heard outside an orchestral context. The voice, needless to say, is as good as ever, evidence that those five years in the National Chamber Choir were in good stead, just one fork on her musical road less travelled that is now bringing her to somewhere very original.
