In a world of shuttered music venues and snatched-away opportunities, Ireland’s music community continues to defy the odds – with young, emerging artists defiantly rising above seemingly insurmountable challenges, and flying the flag for their country. This bold energy, independent ethos and genre-defying talent is evident across our list of Hot For 2021 Irish Acts – which features artists from every corner of Ireland.
Lucy McWilliams:
A frequent collaborator with one of our favourite artists Malaki, this Ireland-born, Berlin-based singer-songwriter is about to take the scene by storm. Her debut solo track, ‘Runaway’ (produced by Matthew Harris, another wunderkind from the same circle), saw the young artist getting national radio attention. She has a voice as rich as velvet and killer musical instincts.
Hear: ‘Fair Play’ (with Malaki).
