Mary Coughlan, one of Ireland’s most revered and enduring performers, will celebrate her 40th year in music with the release of a new album, Repeat Rewind, on Friday 25th October 2024.
Mary shares new single ‘What If I Do’ from the upcoming album, which will be her fifteenth.
‘What If I Do’ is a beautifully pared back love song that captures Coughlan’s trademark emotional honesty with a wry grin. Delivered with incredibly youthful, playful vocals that belie her 40 years as a recording artist, ‘What If I Do’ perfectly showcases the raw talent of Mary Coughlan – an artist who truly deserves her place amongst some of the world’s most iconic and emotive singers.

Mary Coughlan says: “After 40 years in this business and having reached a point in my life where I do a lot of this, looking back and replaying scenes from my life… and wondering…I walk around Galway sometimes and remember absolutely everything about growing up there. All of those events made me who I am. I’m easy with that these days. The good and the bad times. All the learning. After 40 years in this crazy business I’m still here and still working. I still love going to a studio and making music, I love playing music live. I hope you enjoy this album”
