Music Review | 15th April, 2025
Imelda Kehoe - Risen People
Known for her distinctive voice and story-telling, folk singer Imelda Kehoe has a gift for crafting songs that are melody-rich, weaving a tapestry of stories and life experiences written with the listener at heart.
The latest single, Risen People, is a passionate song inspired by Countess Markievicz and stories of other Irish Women of the 1916 Easter Rising and the writings of Countess Markievicz, James Connolly and Padraig Pearse.
Dress suitably in short skirts and strong boots, leave your jewels in the bank and buy a revolver.- Constance Markievicz
Beware of the thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, Who shall take what ye would not give- Pádraig Pearse
For most part, Risen People
, sees Imelda deliver smooth vocals over plucked guitar and piano. As the track moves on Imelda takes a slight dive into rock mode as the Risen People
builds with emotion to a climactic ending.
