A wonderfully immersive project that first began as a healing process between sisters during a period of extensive hospital treatment, Carron has evolved to become one of the best Irish bands in recent years.
After winning over fans and critics alike, they’re poised to become one of the most enchanting bands of the year, and it’s all thanks to their new single, “Lights Up”, produced by Richey McCourt, which was released on July 29th.
McCourt said, “I wanted to create a musical landscape for Carron that honoured the mysticism & spirituality of the song – but bathed it in a more pop-focused contemporary sheen. For me, the best production simply allows the song to shine, and I think what we’ve done here is put the song, and the lustrous vocals front & centre. Méabh and Mella have this very unique, sororal vocal partnership, so it was important for me to build the track with that at its epicentre.”
After releasing their debut EP to critical acclaim, sisters Méabh and Mella Carron have continued to impress, delivering a stream of gorgeous singles and playing sold-out shows all across their native Ireland.
Méabh and Mella grew up performing in musical theatre shows in Ireland, and they harness this dramatic energy when they perform together with guitarist, violinist and co-writer Darragh McGrath. The latest release from the talented trio, ‘Lights Up’ marks their first new music of the year, and it’s absolutely stunning.
Arriving as the first love song from the band, “Lights Up” boasts a beautiful fusion of splendidly stirring stanzas showcasing entrancingly soft yet superbly expressive singing alongside immensely moving music and terrifically spirited choruses exhibiting fantastically vibrant vocals atop tremendously affecting instrumentation, all of which gives rise to a spellbindingly melodic and enormously impactful folk/pop composition that leaves a lasting impression.
