TPOE 254: Ailbhe Reddy

Dublin singer-songwriter Ailbhe Reddy has just released her second album Endless Affair, the followup to 2020's Personal History. She says: "Endless Affair is about a fear of letting go. Either of a party or a relationship. The start of the album is about wanting to hold onto youthful chaos and old romances. The end is an acceptance of how letting go is natural and grounding. I think it shows the duality that can exist within a person. They can be a drunk mess at a party, a good friend, a daughter, a bad girlfriend, a hopeless romantic. All of those can exist within one person.” Buy Endless Affair on Bandcamp: https://ailbhereddy.bandcamp.com/album/endless-affair Ailbhe Reddy tour dates: https://www.songkick.com/artists/9070334-ailbhe-reddy On this episode, Ailbhe talks through the tracks on the album, from the partying of A Mess to the pure love song Shoulder Blades and the two closers, about her granny and mother.
