Following on from their previous track, \u2018West\u2019, which has received significant radio airplay on stations like RTE 2FM, \u201895 (Strawberry Blonde)\u2019 is an emotive piece, with heartfelt lyrics and a brilliant instrumental combining to create an awesome new track.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martellos members Kevin (instrumentals) and Lorcan (vocals) have more in common than just music and heritage &#8211; they both went through troubling times growing up in the counties of Donegal and Mayo, which had a great influence on the paths they took. Eventually, the two\u2019s paths crossed in Galway, while the two were in university, and they became great friends, forming the duo Martellos. The duo debuted in the wake of the pandemic, in 2022, with the track \u2018Card Tricks\u2019 &#8211; ever since then, Martellos (now based in South East London) have been rising up the charts, and continue to do so with their latest track, the brilliant \u201895 (Strawberry Blonde)\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song isn\u2019t the regular blend of electro music that you\u2019re used to by any means. Lorcan\u2019s awesome vocals deliver a melancholic message, painting a vivid picture of what it\u2019s like to be at rock bottom in day-to-day life. However, it wouldn\u2019t be complete without Kevin\u2019s equally incredible production work, blending elements of half a dozen genres into one piece to create a downbeat track that perfectly accompanies Lorcan\u2019s lyrics. The latest part of Martellos\u2019 upcoming EP, \u201895 (Strawberry Blonde)\u2019 shows the duo\u2019s unwavering passion for music through an innovative piece that isn\u2019t rooted in any one genre or style, while also delivering a heartfelt message that anyone can relate to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find the band\u2019s socials and music through the link <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/martellosmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irish electronic music duo Martellos are set to release their latest single, \u201895 (Strawberry Blonde)\u2019, on 25 August across streaming platforms.
