Irish alternative artist ESSIRAY is making a bold return with her latest single, “Lose You,” released on October 18, 2024.
Known for her dynamic fusion of drum and bass with soulful, ethereal vocals, ESSIRAY teams up with co-producer Chris Benza to create a track that’s as introspective as it is danceable.
Set against the backdrop of a high-energy beat and emotive piano elements, “Lose You” channels the power of loss as a means of self-discovery. With its relatable message and distinct, genre-blending style, the track solidifies ESSIRAY’s presence in Ireland’s rising electronic scene.
In “Lose You,” ESSIRAY takes listeners on a journey of resilience, exploring themes of personal growth and artistic purpose. One of the song’s defining lyrics, “I won’t give up, taking a chance on this name, hoping I won’t stay the same forever,” captures her perspective on change as a pathway to self-improvement.
This sentiment is echoed in her approach to music, where she emphasizes the importance of purpose beyond the superficial metrics of the music industry. The second verse shifts into a more conversational tone, adding depth to the narrative as ESSIRAY reflects on her motivations for creating music and staying grounded in her artistry.
ESSIRAY’s journey has been marked by both challenges and achievements, from early vocal damage to organizing all-female electronic music nights in Dublin. Her performance highlights include appearances at Beyond The Pale, The Dublin Modular, and Ireland Music Week.
With a background in opera and a passion for high-tempo genres like drum and bass and jungle, she brings a unique sound and an infectious positivity to her music. As she continues to push creative boundaries, “Lose You” stands as a testament to ESSIRAY’s resilience, artistry, and commitment to delivering energetic tracks that resonate on both emotional and physical levels.
