Following up on her UK sell out tour, Rianne Downey has shared news of a third EP ‘Method To My Madness’ due on the 9th of June. Along with this news Downey has shared her new single ‘Songbird’ taken from the new EP. Along with the release of her third EP, there will also be a 12-track compilation of all three EPs on multiple formats via Run On Records on the same day.

Downey says of the single: 

“Songbird is a kitchen sink lament to the struggles of modern love. It reads like a letter to someone, sealed in an envelope and found on the top deck of a bus on a rainy midweek afternoon on the outskirts of the city. It’s often easier to express it in a letter, or a song, which, in a way, sets the words free. Like a Songbird.”

A cheery upbeat acoustic banger which features that gorgeous voice that we have all come to love. A steady builder as the drums enter and a piano adds some colour, but it’s those soaring vocals that steal the show. Just gorgeous pop that is very much needed in this world.
