If we’re going to be honest, Niall McNamee has put us straight in our feels this Wednesday morning with his new stirring single, “Step By Step”. Peeling back the layers on a loving yet fragile relationship, the Irish singer-songwriter expertly explores those raw untouched emotions, with waning piano chords and fervent strings. Niall replays a dreamy encounter with a love interest on the single, telling each intimate detail with soulful vocals and soaring melodic productions. Both emotional and sincere, the single sees the singer showcases his love for storytelling, with each bar narrating heartbreak, reflections, and resentment. Accompanying the release with a Lee Malone short film-style video, Niall further brings his lyrics to life, using BAFTA Rising Star nominee Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Outlander’s Lauren Lyle.
A part of his latest five-track EP of the same name, Niall continues to explore the depth of his emotions, using elements of contemporary rock and pop for singles, “Fishpond” and “China in a Box”. Having written and performed with fellow Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May and cultivated a devoted fanbase, we can expect nothing but great things in the months to come for the singer.
