Midlands artist Mandy Mynx releases debut single inspired by late father

Midlands native singer-songwriter Mandy Mynx, has released her debut single titled “The One I Loved So Well”.

The song is a deeply personal tribute to her father who passed away in 2019, and reflects their shared love of music and how that bond continues to live on through her songwriting.

After his passing, Mandy believed she would never sing again.

“My dad had such a profound impact on my love of music that when I lost him, I thought I’d lost my voice too,” she said.

“This song is about grief, but it’s also about love, legacy, and the way music can carry someone forward even after they’re gone.”

In September 2025, on the anniversary of her father’s passing, Mandy shared a poem she had written in his memory, and that set in motion a series of events she never imagined possible.

Athlone-based producers and musicians Ruairí Broderick and Darren Curtin connected with her words and believed so strongly in her lyrics that they offered to help bring the song to life.

Together, they composed, produced, and recorded "The One I Loved So Well", carefully shaping the music around the emotion of the story.

“Ruairí and Darren heard something in my words that I wasn’t sure anyone else would,” said Mandy.

“They treated the song with such care and respect, and they truly brought my dad’s memory and my words to life.”

Now released on all major streaming platforms, "The One I Loved So Well" marks the beginning of Mandy’s new music journey rooted in honesty, loss, and the enduring power of music.
