My debut album LYRA is out now! 🫶🏼
LYRA is one of the most striking talents to have emerged from Ireland in the past few years. Hailing from County Cork, she's established herself on both the domestic and international stage with a string of exciting, vibrant singles accompanied by a unique style of visual presentation that is never less than stunning.
The last 2 years have been particularly thrilling for LYRA, with the spectacular success of her one-two punch of hit singles: the ultra-catchy ‘Lose My Mind’ and the uplifting, dancefloor collab with John Gibbons on Stevie Nicks’ classic ‘Edge Of Seventeen’. In addition to these big tunes, she's released successful collaborations with dance artist UNSECRET and Bill Whelan on ‘Riverdance: The Animated Adventure.’ She also soundtracked An Post’s Irish festive campaign with her track ‘The Magic Of Christmas’.
LYRA started 2023 with 'YOU', just ahead of her debut UK headline tour. 'YOU' follows the triple threat hit parade of 'Lose My Mind', 'Edge Of Seventeen' and '29 Box', which have racked up over 12k radio spins over 12 months.
Her new single 'Chess' is the first release from her long-awaited debut album. The record opens with LYRA’s hypnotising vocal presence, leading into dark rhythmic tempo, radiating her infectious energy and lyrical hooks. It was written about starting out in the music industry and the perils associated with that, the conflicting thoughts one has when navigating a music career, LYRA is unapologetic at being her true and authentic self.
