Irish singer-songwriter Moncrieff, who won the RT\u00c9 Choice Music Prize for Irish Song of the Year 2023 with his 2022 single, \u2018Warm’, has today released his new EP, \u2018Highways & Hurricanes\u2019. The EP is out through BMG\/energie and is available to stream and download here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

‘Highways & Hurricanes’ is a deeply honest and personal collection of songs, dealing with love, loss, struggle, vulnerability, and ultimately finding the strength within to get through it all. The release serves as an incredible testimony to the growth Moncreiff has experienced as a songwriter, and gives the listener an intimate look at the artist, as he lays himself bare to the demons he’s had to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanying ‘Highways & Hurricanes’ is new single, ‘Young Men’. An exuberant summer pop track, it on the surface expresses the carefree feeling of a roadtrip. A deeper look into the lyrics however reveal the important message of looking after one’s mental health, and cover the painful experiences that often come with growing up in rural Ireland. <\/p>\n
