Dublin based band My Sweet Beloved have dropped their debut single The Invitation - a spine-chilling ballad full of mystique and passion.
Danielle Harrison Byrne, previously of Skindive, takes centre stage in this stunning track backed by musicians Derek Byrne (Autumn Owls), Anton Hegarty (Future Kings of Spain, A Lazarus Soul) and Dan Devlin (Moskowitz).
Danielle joined the band after returning from Los Angeles when Skindive split and said the process of putting together their forthcoming album was "painstaking yet precise."
She added it is the result of a “long journey that I am now able to fully appreciate.”
When that band fell apart Danielle remarks that she felt that she “a singer with no songs”, yet it spurned her to continue to find a new sound.
And speaking of her new band mates, Danielle gushed: “When I heard Derek play for the first time I was blown away.
“He brought exactly what I had always wanted for the songs, which is a dreamy, haunting power. I had always known I wanted to play music with Anton, and Derek had always wanted to play music with Dan, whose background is in teaching drum corps percussion.
"Fortuitously, the two worlds came together. When I hear these guys play, I always think if I wasn't playing with them then I’d sure wish I was.”
While the band are delighted to finally be sharing their haunting debut track they like so many other musicians are devastated they cannot play live shows due to the coronavirus.
But the band “can't wait to play live shows again" in the future.
