The follow-up to 2022’s ‘Permission To Exhale’, ironically, perhaps, ‘Finding Me’ owes its existence to a period of creative doubt on Ciaran McAuley’s behalf. After years of forward momentum, the Irish artist found himself questioning not only his own direction, but his relationship with music itself.
The original version of ‘Say Something’ is now pushing 700 million YouTube views, having come to prominence through several reality music shows. Notably, it also arrived a decade back, right around the time Christina Novelli was first embarking on her career.
Paul van Dyk and Ciaran McAuley combine forces to create new single ‘Someone Like You’, which is now available to stream from VANDIT Records. The track is a van Dyk thumping 4/4 beat, driving a path with atmosphere and synths to create emotional instrumental electronic music.
This month sees Ciaran McAuley release his debut long-player. After a dozen years as a recording artist and five since he became a standalone operator, he's released ‘Permission To Exhale’ on Black Hole Recordings.
