When you think of great music coming out of the UK you don’t normally think of Belfast (that’s in Northern Ireland by the way). I mean, I guess there’s Van Morrison but after that I’m out, trust me, I did a Google search. But there’s someone who might be changing all that, a singer-songwriter named Robb Murphy.

I don’t really know what to say about Murphy other than he’s got a great voice and the songs he writes are passionate and personal stories that everyone will be able to relate to on some level. What sets Murphy apart from other artists with a similar sound is his willingness and ability to branch out, to utilize different musical styles in his songs. He doesn’t only focus on lyrics and guitar, he also includes electronic synths, horns and drum rhythms which can be heard throughout his latest album “On My Side.”

Check out Robb Murphy on Soundcloud and download his single “Never Letting You Go” on Robb Murphy’s Bandcamp. You can also listen to “Never Letting You Go” as well as “Cad a deir mé?” another one of my favorites by Murphy at the bottom of the page.
