After being tipped as one of our Hot For 2022 Irish acts earlier this year, Jack Dora makes his triumphant return with a brand new single, 'Love Never Comes'.
“The song is both about the dissonance between two people in a toxic relationship and the dissonance between two sides of the one person," Jack explains. "It’s the loneliness and pain of knowing the other person doesn’t feel the same but also the self-fulfilling destructive nature of suffering through a depressive state. A state where it’s the person you see in the mirror that doesn’t love you. There’s something so toxic about that the same as it can be with relationships.”
The Sligo native's previous releases have established him as a serious one-to-watch over the last two years – having been featured on Spotify's New Music Friday UK playlist, as well as garnering airplay across English and Irish national radio.
'Love Never Comes' finds Jack dipping into the dark glamour of '80s new wave – embracing the post-punk sounds of New Order and Depeche Mode as he continues to expose a more personal side of his songwriting.
The track – which is set to feature on his upcoming debut EP – was written, recorded and produced in Jack's bedroom in Dublin. It was mixed by Cork musician Yenkee and mastered by Fergal Davis (Muse, Republic of Loose, Sinead O' Connor).
