by | Jun 18, 2024

Essex-hailing singer-songwriter Roisin O’Hagan has dropped her latest single, Midnight Indigo. Following her 2022 EP, Dreamstate, which was a Nashville-recorded country/pop EP, O’Hagan is now entering a new chapter, as she begins to unveil her most authentic work. As she opens up about difficult themes from a real, raw and human approach, the 26-year-old sucks listeners into her world. A departure from her previous country/pop releases, her latest single sees O’Hagan exploring a mix of pop, rock and singer-songwriter elements.

Roisin O’Hagan has been writing, performing and releasing music since she was 12 years old. Having grown up in a musical household, she was inspired to create songs that upholds storytelling songwriting at its core, much like the music she grew up listening to such as Counting Crows, Taylor Swift, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay.

Midnight Indigo narrates the story of two people and the toxic dynamic between them. The songwriter explains: “There is some kind of undeniable, toxic passion between them that neither can leave alone. That is until eventually one takes the power and leaves the situation with no real explanation, apology or closure.” The two individuals both know they are playing a losing game but are too afraid to pull the trigger, until one finally instigates its demise.

Check out Midnight Indigo below:

The angsty track is fuelled with driving guitars, upbeat percussion and move-inducing melodies. Through determined vocals and storytelling lyrics that are both honest and playfully blunt, O’Hagan chants: “You’re a nightmare and I can’t stop dreaming, if not us then who do I believe in, in another life I’d be running from you.”

Usually how it goes is they kinda just do strings on top of the hits, but these were actually strings on all the records” Beck David Hansen states part way through what is, a truly magical evening of music, departing from the norm and going with his gut, in true Beck style.
