Irish sensation BREN BERRY has released his new video for single 'Turn On Your Radio', out now
"Turn On Your Radio" is the new single taken from Bren Berry's forthcoming debut solo album which is called "In Hope Our Stars Align".
The song is another melodic love letter to the power of music and to "things that can't be sold" featuring Berry's trademark layers of guitars & infectious vocal hooks and harmonies. It's also defined by Bren’s reflective and honest lyricism which is delivered with empathy and tenderness.
"When I was kid, I spent a lot of time in The Liberties with my Aunt Norrie who was a massive Elvis Presley fan and introduced me to the magic of radio,” reflects Bren. “I have always loved discovering great music on the radio, listening to so many great DJ’s especially at night.”
"Turn on your Radio" is also a metaphor, a protest song, an SOS "Ground control to Major Tom" broadcast to a world in trouble and running out of road. It's a call to tune in to ourselves and the world around us as we continue to sleep-walk into climate and social disasters everywhere.
"I wrote it as we were resurfacing after lockdown and think it captures the sense of isolation, loss and alienation that we were all feeling, like an earthbound Space Oddity stuck in cruise control."
The song was produced by Berry & Gavin Glass in Orphan Studios and mixed and mastered by Daniel James Goodwin at The Isokon, Virginia. Berry is joined by Glass on guitars, bass & synths, Binzer Brennan on drums and Gavin Fox on backing vocals.
