Rising Indie Artist Liam Foody – releases the new single “The One”

Since his 2024 debut, “New Local Hero” nominee Liam Foody has been earning widespread acclaim across Irish media, with features in Hot Press, The Beat, Pure M Zine, The Daily Music Report and more; his atmospheric indie sound and heartfelt songwriting positioning him as a sure ‘one to watch’ in the Irish music scene.

Upcoming single, “The One”, releasing October 10th, is another introspective release from the Ballyhaunis singer-songwriter. Written about the emotional struggle of holding on to things we don’t want to let go of, it also delves into the difficult, though important realization that everything happens for a reason. “Sometimes this truth is hard to accept,” Foody explains. “But it’s a part of life that we all have to face”.

The single, which came together rather unexpectedly, features longtime collaborator and fellow Mayo musician Kriss Kurda, who worked with Foody on second single “Waiting For You”.

Foody recalls, “I was in the studio working on a different song when the chorus melody came to mind. The rest of the song came together rather quickly after we stopped what we were doing and put everything into getting this track finished. My friend Kriss Kurda played a big role in bringing this song to life with the addition of synthesisers, live guitar and heavy drums. I then got in touch with Dublin based producer Gavin Doyle who worked his magic and made the song what it is”

With what is only his third original release, “The One” deepens the promise Foody has shown from the beginning, marking another confident step forward in the journey to becoming one of Ireland’s freshest new voices in indie.
