Ailbhe Reddy – has shared the new single ‘That Girl’

Ailbhe Reddy is excited to release her new single ‘That Girl’ – the latest offering from her anticipated new album KISS BIG out on January 30 via Don Giovanni Records (pre-order). The track arrives alongside an accompanying music video directed by Greg Purcell which premiered at Under the Radar, and is available now on all streaming platforms. 

On the song Reddy shares: “This is one of the record’s emotional anchors. A study in how love shifts shape over time — how we start seeing each other less tenderly, and forget what we once adored. Inspired partly by Fleishman Is in Trouble, it reflects on memory, time, and how impossible it is to stay the same person inside a long love.”

‘That Girl’ follows the album’s previously released singles ‘So Quickly, Baby’ and ‘Align’, which are available now on all digital platforms. 

Recently, Ailbhe has added another string to her bow as the host of ‘Salvation Songs’ on RTÉ 2FM – a five episode series which sees Ailbhe interview fellow Irish artists such as Karla Chubb (Sprints), Moncrieff and more. The first episode aired 29 Dec 25 during The New Music Show with Beta DaSilva. Listen back.

Kiss Big unfolds as a breakup record – but not the tidy, acoustic kind. It lives in the messy middle: the disorienting period when the life you built with someone collapses, and you’re left trying to figure out who you are on your own. 

Written between Dublin, London, New York and the American Midwest, Kiss Big traces the cycle of love, loss, and renewal. It’s raw and wry: the sound of coming apart and gluing yourself back together.

From the reflective calm of ‘Align’ to the self-sabotaging haze of ‘Gorgeous Thing’, and the vulnerable self-reckoning of ‘That Girl’, Reddy builds an emotional world that’s deeply personal yet quietly universal.

“It’s about the aftershock of a break up,” Reddy explains. “That liminal space where you’re equal parts sad, hopeful, terrified and probably a bit delusional.”
