In collaboration with the talented Ciaran Lavery, Irish singer-songwriter BLÁNID challenges gender role inequalities in her new track, Funeral Suit.
BLÁNID – ‘Funeral Suit’
Known for her soulful songwriting and distinctive voice, BLÁNID has earned widespread acclaim from music outlets across the UK and Ireland, including Earmilk, Hot Press, BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, RTÉ Radio 1, and RTÉ TV 1. Her achievements also include being selected by the Ivors Academy for an International Women’s Day performance and participating in the YouTube Music songwriting camp.
BLÁNID has reached numerous milestones that we could discuss all day, but here’s a brief overview: she toured the UK with American folk icon Judy Collins and made her national gallery debut alongside Isabella Summers, keyboardist for the iconic band Florence and the Machine. Additionally, she was the featured vocalist for the Netflix anime film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf.
“Why achieve your dreams when you can help your man achieve his?”
This succinct phrase encapsulates the essence of BLÁNID’s latest track, Funeral Suit. Created in collaboration with Ciaran Lavery, the song critiques the traditional role of women as passive supporters, highlighting the frustration of being relegated to merely assisting a male figure.
With its slow tempo and haunting vocals, Funeral Suit showcases BLÁNID’s masterful songwriting, complemented by a production that perfectly captures the song’s emotional depth. The lyrics subtly critique the patriarchy with a blend of poetic elegance and a touch of sarcasm, avoiding overt statements to deliver their message in a refined and impactful manner.
Funeral Suit is a mesmerizing composition, driven by its insightful and clever lyricism.
Funeral Suit is just the beginning for BLÁNID as she builds momentum in 2024. This track kicks off a series of releases, with the next one, A Good Good Wife, scheduled for September 11th. Be sure to mark your calendar—BLÁNID has an exciting year ahead!
