A heartbreak anthem? Not quite, perhaps an unconventional one. You see, ‘So Quickly, Baby’ doesn’t necessarily linger on the past, instead recognising the subsequent confusion and chaos with observant, inquisitive eyes. Such powerful songwriting is propped up by a sensible, elegant indie-rock livery, all steeped in cinematic allure and evocative textures. Behind such a masterpiece, we find Dublin-based creative Ailbhe Reddy, as she prepares for her forthcoming album ‘BIG KISS’, out on January 30 via her own label Don Giovanni Records.
Reddy describes the track as “the meltdown song, the album’s neurotic heartbeat. A tug-of-war between grace and chaos. The verses attempt to be the bigger person, while the choruses unveil the question at its heart, ‘How are you already fine, and when will I be?’”
“It’s about the push and pull between wanting to be gracious and wanting to scream,” she continues. “That weird neurotic whiplash when someone seems totally fine while you feel like you’ve been dropped in the middle of nowhere without a map.”
