Critically acclaimed, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy has shared his new track, “Let Me In,” out today on Island Records/Interscope.
“Let Me In” arrives on the eve of MISNEACH, the new annual global music festival curated and imagined by Dermot. The festival’s mission is to celebrate Ireland’s rich musical heritage and culture, and to cultivate the creativity, power and resilience of Ireland through music. WATCH THE MINSEACH TRAILER HERE.
“Let Me In” was written by Dermot Kennedy and Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Lana Del Rey, Anderson Paak), and produced by Gabe Simon. The hauntingly beautiful track highlights Dermot’s effortless emotional delivery and powerfully rich vocals. The stark, yet lush instrumentation features layered strings and acoustic guitar throughout, reflective of Dermot’s signature, authentic sound. The track was born as an extension of the upcoming festival, and as a gift to fans who will get to hear a taste of new music live for the first time at MISNEACH.
Dermot on “Let Me In”:
‘Let Me In’ is a song about the struggle to find true happiness, and the people and places that have brought me closest to it in my life. I wrote it on the first day I got to Nashville last summer. I hadn’t written a song in a while, so it felt like I captured something I had been trying to say for a long time.
Dermot on MISNEACH:
“For so many years now I have watched the St Patrick’s Day celebrations in so many different cities with a massive sense of pride.” explains Dermot; “I’ve always been so moved by the way Irish history and culture is celebrated all over the world. But I’ve also had the feeling that, for a country so rich in culture, I didn’t see it being represented fully in these events worldwide and I wondered, could we change that?”
