Irish singer Blaithin Carney has released her new single, No Means No.
The singer took to the stage with her band and string quartet on the final day of the Midsummers Arts Festival on Sunday, June 24th at McAuley Place to launch the news single.
A follow up to her hit song Rome, the new single is already at number 3 in the charts.
Carney’s stunning new single is all about communication, or more pointedly, the lack thereof. This multi-talented artist seeks to empower all who listen to use their own voice with courage, to stand up for themselves and the causes they believe in, whatever this may be.
More than anything, No Means No reminds listeners of the importance of kindness and thoughtfulness, not just to those you know, but everyone with whom you cross paths.
“Getting to this point has been pretty amazing, ” Blaithin said of her success.
When my single got to number one ahead of Ed Sheeran it felt incredible and hearing the song on the radio was surreal too.
“I’m finally realising I am good at what I do. Before this I was constantly questioning whether I was good enough and able and I’m finally hitting that point where I’m quietly confident.”
