We say
If like us, you have been keeping an eye on the burgeoning Irish hip-hop and R&B scene over the past year or so, you may have heard of emerging artist Daire Patel. A recent addition to the Word Up Collective roster alongside the likes of Tebi Rex and Natalya O'Flaherty, Patel combines a rap feel with a lo-fi bedroom pop sound influenced by the likes of Mac Miller and Frank Ocean. Following up on his previous single, Hold Me Down, which has clocked up over 185k streams since its release on Christmas Day, Patel has now dropped this hypnotic slice of melodic hip-hop. Released on Friday (15 May) and featuring on Spotify UK’s New Music Friday, No Cap, R&B UK, Surface and Spotify & Chill editorial playlists, Sirens is a beautiful blend of soft hip-hop beats and synth flourishes, guided by a gentle piano melody and the contrasting bars of Patel and vocals of Aby Coulibaly. It’s pretty stunning and meaningful. Expect to see this rack up more exposure over the coming weeks with RTE 2FM and BBC Introducing already keen supporters. Not to be missed. | |
