Fergal Nash - On a Constant Roll
Indie rock sensation Fergal Nash from Limerick, Ireland, recently released his latest collection, "On A Constant Roll ". The album, produced by the talented rising star Martin John from Cambridgeshire, U.K., promises to be a game-changer for the singer/songwriter. Nash's collaboration with Martin John on the album's four single releases, which have already amassed over 60,000 Spotify streams, has set the stage for this remarkable release.
Nash's journey towards this album began in March 2021 when he started crafting the lead single, "Walking Tall," alongside John. Despite facing various challenges that led to several delays in the album's release, Nash's determination has triumphed, and he's now ready to share his finest collection to date with the world.
"This album is very close to my heart, and I'm thrilled to finally see it come to life," Fergal enthused. "Working with Martin has been an incredible experience, and together we've elevated my sound to a whole new level. I can't wait for my fans to hear it."
The album has been named The album of the week on Tony Bergin's Mixed Bag Indie Show on New People's Movement Radio.
"As It Is" is a standout on this collection of songs. Pure rock track where Nash's vocal stands above a guitar and drum-based composition. The melody carries a darkness within and this feeling is only enhanced by the emotions transmitted by the vocal. Lyrically, the song tries to advice the listener not to play games but accept reality and call things as they are, hence the title.
The deeper we dive into the album we find out Nash is not only a skilled musician but a singer capable of painting the right vibe with the right delivery. Emotions are pouring out of Healing Curraghchase, released as one of the album singles.
"Hideaway" is another highlight, intense, thought-provoking lyrics ("all I have to do, turn off a switch or two and everything goes back to the norm") backed by a melody that feels almost sacred, perhaps due to the organ used in the intro. But the message continues to resonate - we have the right to be ourselves, no matter what others thing. And we are entitled to do the right thing. Right for us.
"Sorry Eyes" is probably the most optimistic song on the album, trying to advice the listener once more, this time not to listen to the nay-sayers because they are always gonna be around, but to keep going, following the inner calling. The line "at least I've got the balls to express myself" says it all. People may think whatever they want, not everyone will like what you do or support you but it takes courage to stand up by your opinions, your goals and your life in general. "Don't you ever cast those sorry eyes on me..."
