As part of our nightly YouTube series celebrating Van Morrison's 75th birthday, Una Healy performs 'Reminds Me Of You', and shares her reflections on Van's music.
Originally rising to fame as one-fifth of The Saturdays, Tipperary singer Una Healy signed to Decca Records in 2017, with her debut solo album The Waiting Game arriving in February of the same year. She recently released ‘Never See Me Cry’ and follow-up track ‘Strangers', ahead of her upcoming sophomore album.

"As soon as I heard the opening chords of 'Reminds Me Of You', I said to myself, 'This is right up my street.' The melody and lyrics are similar to the style of songwriting I’m really into. I can also hear my good friend Brian Kennedy’s beautiful voice on the record, so it's extra special."
