This song is extremely meaningful to me personally and I wasabsolutely thrilled when Muirġen gave me permission to use it in my podcast. It beautifully captures the essence of that point in life when you are moving from where you are to where you really want to be, embracing the fear and doing it anyway.About the artist: Irish-fusion artist Muirġen announced her debut EP Loinnir, in early 2026 alongside the release of the first single‘Brushstrokes’.Written in ⁠⁠Hotpress⁠⁠:Muirġen’s music style combines Irish tradition withexperimental electronic music. ‘Brushstrokes’ is a powerful track that plays with textured harmonies and a distinctive sensible Irish sound, defined by Muirġen's deep captivating voice and melismatic lines.‘Brushstrokes’ was written by Muirġen (Muirgen O’Mahony),Cian Sweeney and Laura Elizabeth Hughes, and produced by Sweeney, and Philip Marsden. It incorporates elements like the sound of rain and experimental drum compositions.“The song captures a moment of suspension - the spacebetween who you’ve been and who you’re becoming,” said Muirġen.
