Last month saw the arrival of the fourth full-length record from unique, acclaimed and accomplished Irish singer/multi-instrumentalist Conor Furlong, Recurring Dream, which turned out to be a typically consistently captivatingly melodic, splendidly expressive, fantastically heartfelt and immensely moving pop/rock compilation – our full review of Recurring Dream can be read by clicking here – and closely followed the releases of three enthralling singles titled “Teenage Fantasies”, “Your Touch” and “Are You Gonna Sleep Tonight?”, which dropped to stream and download between late July and early September.
Now, having barely paused to take a breath after unleashing his latest album, the admirably devoted and exceptionally industrious artist whose music is influenced by the likes of A-ha, R.E.M., Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Beach Boys, David Bowie, AIR, The Monkees, Phil Spector and Mercury Rev as well as painters and film composers such as Monet, Miro, Dali, Hundertwasser, Van Gogh and Bernard Herrmann, and who composes songs, according to the musician himself, with the aim of making “music that [he loves] and [with the] hope that you might love it too”, has just put out another new single, which goes by the name of “Freaking Out”.
Taken from the aforementioned Recurring Dream, on the track list of which it occupies the number eight spot, the freshly unveiled new single is a characteristically irresistibly entrancing pop/rock offering that remains magnificently mellifluous, terrifically passionate and wonderfully rousing from start to finish and packs a powerful punch, and, just like the three singles that preceded it and Recurring Dream as a whole, it makes for a very enjoyable listen and leaves a lasting impression, and is sure to satisfy its creator’s established fans while simultaneously turning plenty of new heads in the strikingly talented musician’s direction.
If you haven’t heard “Freaking Out” yet, you can investigate it via its newly-released accompanying music video below.
“Freaking Out” is also available to stream on Spotify and download on iTunes, along with the rest of Recurring Dream, now.
