Q&A: Sorcha Richardson Is Reinventing Young Love

LUNA:  Who are you? Where are you from? Maybe a fun fact about yourself!

SORCHA RICHARDSON: My name is Sorcha Richardson and I’m a singer/songwriter and musician from Dublin. Fun fact - my first real job was as a lifeguard but nobody ever came so I spent most Sunday afternoons when I was 16 writing songs by an empty swimming pool near my house. 

LUNA: What was the process of writing a song based on the theme of friendship over the theme of love - a topic that is so heavily covered in music?

SORCHA: I spent three days in the Spring of 2020 at a studio in the middle of Ireland with some of my favourite Irish musicians. I wrote the earliest demo of this on the first day with Faye from Soda Blonde and Gemma & Morgana from Saint Sister. I don't know if it was because we were writing together for the first time, but perhaps it felt easier to write about a platonic relationship than a romantic one because, on the surface at least, that might feel like it doesn't require quite as much emotional vulnerability.

Opening with Honey, a startling reflection on the power of encountering love, Richardson lulls the listener into a captivating 10-song odyssey of impeccably crafted folk rock and pop with some fine electronic flourishes...Richardson creates a rich and unique soundscape for each of her songs to inhabit. First Prize Bravery is a riveting debut. – The Irish Times ★★★★Everything, of course, is a foil to Richardson’s voice, which can only be described as laidback liquid gold. It draws you into these personal situations, and lays them out like an open diary, judgement-free.Bravery indeed. This is a superb record. – Hotpress 9/10Sorcha scores heaps of charm and charisma on this full-length debut – DIY ★★★★After multiple listens, I must admit that I still can't quite comprehend the immensely human and authentic talent that courses through this ten-track release. – Earmilk ★★★★Irish singer-songwriter Sorcha Richardson has been cultivating a cult fanbase for several years. Songs such as ‘Ruin Your Night’, ‘Petrol Station’ and ‘Can’t We Pretend’ are evocative vignette
