Taughmaconnell chanteuse releases third single

Counting down to the launch of her debut album next April, Taughmaconnell chanteuse Ciara Lawless is continuing to make waves on the music scene as she celebrates the launch of her third single 'With Love', a song about the transformative power of love and positivity.

Fresh from performing at the famous Brown Thomas fashion Autumn/Winter Collection event in Galway, Ciara also appears on the cover of the October issue of N magazine, which showcases Ireland’s best creatives, a magazine that is available in the National Gallery of Ireland.

Showing a steady rise on the Irish music scene, the former Bower student (24) who is also a presenter on Ros FM in Roscommon town, had a very successful run on the Irish summer festival circuit following the release of her first two singles, 'Half The Man' and 'I Am Your Healer'. Among the events she performed at were The Mná Festival at Dun na Sí, Moate, The Lovestock Festival in Tuamgraney, Co Clare, The Healing Spirit Festival in Co Cavan and The Hidden Hearth Festival in Carlow.

The South Roscommon woman's musical journey began at a young age when she started taking classes in acting and singing. She later developed an interest in classical and opera, training at the Academy of Music in Tullamore, where she also competed in national and international competitions.

While some singers cut their chops while climbing the music ladder, Ciara earned her singing stripes as a funeral singer, something that she is very proud and honoured to do. She also combines her musical career with her work as a florist.

The local singer/songwriter, who in her own words, said her sound contemporary folk which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Kate Bush, a major influence along with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Florence Welsh, has delved into the profound themes of love, self-discovery, and healing in her three singles to date.

A recent Hot Press review described Ciara as a promising artist “capable of delving into difficult themes about the human experience, all the while turning them into melodic pieces of beauty”.

'With Love' is available to download on Spotify and other platforms. You can follow Ciara on Instagrama @ciaralawlesshq
