Ballyhaunis singer-songwriter Liam Foody releases “The One” on October 10th, an introspective track exploring the emotional struggle of holding on to things we don’t want to let go of while delving into the difficult realization that everything happens for a reason. The single came together unexpectedly when Foody was in the studio working on a different song and the chorus melody suddenly came to mind. The rest of the track developed quickly as he and longtime collaborator, fellow Mayo musician Kriss Kurda, shifted focus to getting this song finished. Kurda brought the track to life with synthesisers, live guitar and heavy drums before Dublin-based producer Gavin Doyle added his finishing touches.
Since his 2024 debut, the “New Local Hero” nominee has earned widespread acclaim across Irish media with features in Hot Press, The Beat, Pure M Zine, The Daily Music Report and more. His atmospheric indie sound and heartfelt songwriting have positioned him as a sure one to watch in the Irish music scene. With only his third original release, “The One” deepens the promise Foody has shown from the beginning, marking another confident step forward as he emerges as one of Ireland’s freshest new voices in indie.
