Jamie Duffy releases 'For The Moon' ahead of NCH headline show, EP & tour
Irish composer Jamie Duffy releases “For The Moon” after overwhelming demand from fans around the globe. The single will be the first from his brand new “For The Moon” EP, coming in March.
Dublin, Ireland – 31 January 2025 – Rising star Jamie Duffy, the 23-year-old musician and songwriter, releases his much anticipated single “For The Moon” from his upcoming “For The Moon” EP (released in March 2025). The track is romantic, cinematic, soothing and instantly connected with thousands of fans online after Jamie shared a video of him performing it in his home in Monaghan. Jamie decided to collaborate with BAFTA winner and Emmy nominated Icelandic composer Atli Örvarsson on the production of the track and include it on his upcoming EP.
When speaking about the song, Jamie Duffy says ‘“For The Moon” is a piece that was born in the early hours of one June morning. I find that my greatest creativity happens during the hours of darkness, and over the years I have found immense comfort between myself, my piano and the moon. Unlike many things in this world, the moon is of course constant, and whilst sometimes she is hidden under a veil of cloud or storms, since I was young I’ve always found comfort in knowing that she is ever present. She witnesses everything, and she will outlive everyone. Living in a dark and rural part of the world naturally allows one to get very well acquainted with her, her light and her mystery. “For The Moon” is for her.’
Jamie Duffy's musical journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. His debut track ‘Solas' shattered records in 2022, becoming the most streamed debut song by an Irish artist since Hozier's "Take Me To Church," with over 100 million streams on Spotify alone. Known for his versatility and innovation, Jamie has collaborated with renowned artists such as Sarah Cothran, Patrick Dexter, and Kingfishr, seamlessly merging talents and producing deeply resonant music.
With over 1.4 million monthly listeners, Jamie is solidifying his place in the music world. His debut EP promises to be a testament to his growing influence and the depth of his musical artistry.
