Indie band, Somebodys Child, release new single ahead of album launch

Music Review | 14th March, 2025 Somebodys Child

As indie-band, Somebodys Child prepare for the release of their upcoming album, the group has given further hints of what to expect with the forth single taken from the album.

Following on from the lead single Time of My Life, and songs, Last Night I Held Your Hand and Irish Goodbye, their latest release, Porcelain, continues the band's sonic evolution, blending propulsive electronic elements with their raw, emotive rock foundations.

Porcelain's contrast between hypnotic, monotonal verses and a soaring falsetto-driven chorus highlights the depth of their songwriting, reflecting on the album's overall theme, how time inevitably shapes and strains relationships.

Speaking on the single vocalist and bandleader Cian Godfrey said:

Porcelain was the breakthrough track for us determining the shape of the record. When it was written, everything else seemed to fall into place around it. It embodies the danceability we were going for throughout, and to me it evokes a necessity to get up and move. I remember somebody once calling it 'rave-rock', which I liked

The band are set to release their long-awaited second album, When Youth Fades Away, on 28th March, 2025.
