On-The-Rise Irish Singer Songwriter Peter Richardson – set to unleash stunning new single ‘Told Me Twice’ this coming Friday

Peter Richardson is a singer-songwriter from Dublin. An avid songwriter all his life, Peter grew up surrounded by music. After testing the waters with his original songs at a college open mic, Peter began properly recording his music at home in the summer of 2020. 

A few months later in October he released his debut single, “The End of The World”, an indie folk ballad filled with choral vocals and stirring, apocalyptic lyrics and instrumentation. 

Following his debut, Peter continued with a string of releases, leading with “Please Don’t Believe Me” which premiered on RTÉ Radio 1 upon release, and the following summer his debut EP “Then & Now” produced with Cian Sweeney (1000 Beasts). Peter and his band made their live debut that summer, selling out the upstairs in Whelan’s weeks in advance, and moving to headline the venue’s main room due to overwhelming demand for their first ever show.

“Told Me Twice” is the latest single from Peter Richardson. Written by Peter and recorded in Jejune Studios in Drogheda, the track is the latest in a series of new music that Peter has been working on with prolific producer Daniel DeBurca. Peter has spent the past year recording in Jejune, working collaboratively with Daniel and his band to master their new sound. “Told Me Twice,” is a heartfelt exploration of love and optimism, set to release on November 29th, 2024. This track follows his previous release, “Better Alone,” and marks a delightful shift in tone, showcasing a more romantic and hopeful perspective. 

Written during a period of creative growth, “Told Me Twice” captures the essence and excitement of newfound love, blending rich melodies with poignant lyrics. Peter’s signature folk-rock style shines through, enhanced by the chemistry developed with his band during live performances in recent years. The song features lush instrumentation and layered harmonies that invite listeners into a warm, uplifting experience.
