Janet Devlin Returns On Her Own Terms with New track ‘Confessional’
Irish songstress Janet Devlin returns to the big league with a brand-new release, ‘Confessional’. Her re-entry to the musical landscape is the start of a slow-burn, long-term engagement with her large and loyal fanbase, followers retained during her tenure on the hit show X Factor (2011), as well as those gained from her transformation into one of the UK’s most influential YouTube creators with over half a million subscribers.
Released on 27thSeptember 2019, Janet’s track ‘Confessional’ lays the foundation for her future releases. “If it doesn’t sound like an obvious single, it’s because it’s not meant to,” continues Janet. “It’s a glimpse of what’s to come. I’ve essentially created a concept album, everything is on the table and laid bare. There’s going to be nowhere to hide! Everyone is going to get a chance to listen and understand, and I hope my story resonates with people. Consider this release as the perfect first piece of a larger puzzle” she concludes.
‘Confessional’, a darkly defiant folk-tinged anthem, showcases her enchanting vocal style and alludes to her Irish heritage. With its thundering drums – not to mention uilleann pipes, accordion, fiddles, bodhrán, cow’s ribs and whistles – ‘Confessional’ is the fusion of Janet’s identity, inspirations and influences to create an intriguing insight into this fascinating artist.
Janet announced the release of the song and the album on her YouTube channel with a typically frank post:
