Irish Singer-Songwriter - Sarah Buckley is a recent discovery for me. Her new EP is a lovely listen, full of well-crafted and heartfelt Folk songs.    

The EP opens with 'Can't Explain' which is stripped back and moody sounding. Lyrically it is reflecting on a relationship and a breakdown in communication. At times it can be quite heartbreaking and her unique vocals have so much emotion. 

'Dream Catching' is a beautiful Folk song with magical sounding production. The theme is stepping into the unknown and the lyrics are melancholic and thought-provoking - "Come catch dreams with me, You'll be lost but feeling free. You'll be full of life 'cause you'll see, that its not what they said it should be."    

'Louisiana' is my favourite here and has Americana vibes, with storytelling reminiscent of Bobbie Gentry. 'Magic Powers' is a bittersweet love song, with honest lyrics. It ends on 'You've Got Me' which is acoustic Folk at its finest and about a troubled relationship.

A highly recommended EP from a new artist well worth investigating.
