‘It Takes One to Know’ is an anthemic, summer rock hit that combines the highs of a sunny blurry holiday with friends with the lows of heartbreak in your early 20’s. A blend of dance-inducing pop verses and hard hitting rock-driven choruses ARREN paints a picture of a rollercoaster emotion-filled summer. Produced by industry veteran Gary Duncan of Red Lake Studios and accompanied by Toby Shane Roys of Static Vision on instrumentation, ‘It Takes One to Know’ promises to be a summer anthem. Available now on all streaming platforms.
ARREN is a Dublin based, Limerick born artist who intends to blend the scale of iconic 90’s rock bands with the intimacy of singer-songwriter, having inspirations including Radiohead, Oasis, Hudson Taylor and U2. ARREN also combines his music with strong visuals using lyric video visualisers, music videos and acoustic session videos, all of which are planned to accompany the track in the weeks following the release.
Commenting on the single, ‘It Takes One To Know’, ARREN said, “I hope this song teleports listeners to that one summer trip abroad where you drank a bit too much trying to forget about that one that got away. This song and my upcoming debut 12 track album, ‘Dark Earth’ have been 5 years in the making and explore the ups and downs of your early 20s that I think all of us have in common. I’m looking forward to sharing ‘It Takes One to Know’ with the world and taking listeners back to that messy but electrifying time in their life.”
To celebrate the release of ‘It Takes One to Know’, ARREN will be performing as a featured artist at a number of acoustic sessions across Dublin such as, Whelan’s Song Cycle, The Zodiac Sessions and at 4 Dame Lane, both of which are free entry.
