Emerging from the west of Ireland, Brian Corbett has released his new single ‘Wonder’. After moving across the Atlantic five years ago to live in Toronto, Brian Corbett found himself in a music scene he had never experienced before. He rubbed shoulders with a variety of artists and writers who instantly broadened his music and writing palette. After five years away from home he grew tired of city life and moved home to the deep wilderness of Connemara. Having left as a wishful teenager he returned as a focused musician with a voice that can be delicate when necessary but can roar a chorus as good as any vocalist on the island. Since returning, the Galway artist has found his stride in writing and recording new songs that are now ready for the world to hear.

Within ‘Wonder’ Corbett blends warm folk tones and cinematic tendencies with earnest lyrics to create a compelling new tune. The song travels on twinkling guitar and a pulsing beat exuding suspense throughout while Corbett’s warm vocals and lush harmonies croon the gripping lyrics, “hope you spin my head around. Round and round until it falls. Pick it up and it’s all yours“. The track is a joy to listen to as the artist eloquently captures a sense of longing through ethereal soundscapes while the folk foot-tapping rhythm grounds the track. Laced in catchy melodies wholesome musicianship and heartfelt lyrics ‘Wonder’ is a stunning new single from Brian Corbett.

Speaking of the single Brian Corbett said: “My new song feels like the perfect way to kick start something I’ve been working on for the last few years. The track touches on my teenage years and lacking the bravery to tell a close friend that I wanted to be more. I look back at that situation with huge regret and often wonder what would have happened had I just let a few words fall from my mouth.”
