SexyTadhg (pronounced Sexy-Tie-g) – today releases the anticipated debut EP Sexy

Irish LBTQIA+ breakout SexyTadhg (pronounced Sexy-Tie-g) releases the anticipated debut EP Sexy.

Sexy is a politically charged debut EP that dives deep into the dualities of queer experience – celebrating joy, love, and empowerment while also confronting struggle, stigma, and the need for change. Across its tracks, SexyTadhg balances euphoric anthems like Claim My Love and the Irish-language Ceannasacht with hard-hitting reflections such as My Parade and Ride the Wave, which speak to resilience, mental health, and the power of raising one’s voice in the fight for social justice. It is both a celebration of queer identity and a rallying call for visibility, solidarity, and resistance.

Blending big band jazz with theatrical soul and pop flair, the EP marks a bold new chapter in Tadhg’s artistry. Sexy is an intimate yet defiant collection, its lyricism both vulnerable and unapologetic, charting a vibrant, theatrical journey through themes of sex, resistance, and the ecstatic beauty of being alive and queer in Ireland.

Across the 5 tracks, Tadhg conjures a carnival-like atmosphere that both honours queer identity and challenges convention. The record captures the grand scale and visceral energy of Tadhg’s live performances with lush production and expansive instrumentation. Anchored by their effortlessly magnetic and commanding vocal presence, the EP offers a musically rich, wildly inventive, and euphoric immersion into Tadhg’s ever-evolving sonic world.

Talking about the track, Sexytadhg explains: “Sexy is an introduction to the persona, the drag, the power that allows me to own a stage. The armour that has protected Tadhg. These songs are moments of self discovery that have strengthened me as a person and now lay the groundwork for my future. Recorded over the last two years, with countless collaborators, musicians, vocalists, brass, strings, it’s orchestral, bold, beautiful, truthful, honest, and above all…SEXY.”
