Patrick Dowling – Builds Momentum with latest single ‘Out of Our Control

Patrick Dowling’s ‘Out of Our Control’ is a reflective yet uplifting track about accepting the things in life that cannot always be changed.

Moving away from the traditional ballad style associated with some of Patrick’s earlier work, the song introduces a more contemporary pop and R&B-inspired sound, combining atmospheric production, rhythmic melodies, and emotionally driven lyrics.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Gavin Doyle, ‘Out of Our Control’ captures Patrick’s ability to turn personal experiences and emotions into songs that feel relatable and universal.

Already earning major support from Irish radio, including RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week, as well as plays across Beat 102 103, Liffey Sound FM, Dublin South FM and KCLR96FM, the track is now entering its next phase with a renewed campaign to reach new audiences and continue its growth.

For fans of emotive pop, modern R&B influences, and honest songwriting, ‘Out of Our Control’ offers a glimpse into the evolving sound of one of Ireland’s emerging independent artists.

Kilkenny singer-songwriter Patrick Dowling is building momentum with his latest single ‘Out of Our Control’, a genre-blending release that showcases a more contemporary side to his sound while staying true to the emotional storytelling that has connected with audiences from the beginning.

Following an initial wave of support, Patrick is now launching a second push for ‘Out of Our Control’ with the aim of introducing the track to new listeners, growing his audience, and continuing the momentum behind one of his most ambitious releases to date.

The track has already received strong recognition across Irish radio and media, including being named RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week, alongside support from Beat 102 103, Liffey Sound FM, Dublin South FM, and KCLR96FM. The release has also gained attention from leading Irish music publication Hot Press, further highlighting Patrick’s growing profile within the Irish music scene.

‘Out of Our Control’ sees Patrick step into a fresh sonic direction, blending modern pop with R&B and hip-hop influences while maintaining the heartfelt lyricism that defines his songwriting. Inspired by artists such as Rihanna, Maverick Sabre and The Weeknd, Patrick brings together smooth melodies, honest storytelling, and a powerful vocal delivery to create a track centred around vulnerability, emotion, and navigating the moments in life that are beyond our control.

Patrick’s journey has been built on genuine connection with audiences, including a memorable moment while busking that saw him catch the attention of Luke Combs’ bass player, who recognised his talent and offered encouragement after hearing him perform live.

With previous releases earning radio support and his latest single continuing to gain traction, Patrick Dowling represents a new wave of Irish independent artists combining traditional songwriting values with a modern global sound.
