Irish prodigy Darren Kiely releases his new track “Late Texts” (LISTEN HERE). The track, which was produced by frequent collaborator David Baron (Lana Del Rey, Lumineers, Shawn Mendes) and written by Kiely and Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan), showcases more of Kiely’s relatable lyrics and soaring vocals.
Speaking on the single, Darren says, “‘Late Texts’ is about being away from people you love and how hard it is to ask them to wait for you. It describes the guilt that comes with asking people to wait for you and the fear that they may not.”
The track comes on the heels of Kiely’s latest release “Avalon,” which was released last month. Prior to that Kiely released his From The Dark EP . The six-track EP takes Kiely’s craft to new heights as he explores the harsh realities that come with growing up and moving on.
Pulling inspiration from influences like Mumford & Suns, The Lumineers and Noah Kahan, Darren Kiely has mastered his own distinctive sound while drawing in fans worldwide. With a busy start to 2024 — “Sunrise” reached No. 1 on the Irish Homegrown Chart, signing to Free Flight Records, and headlining his sold-out 33-date international THE LOST TOUR. Kiely is currently joining Mat Kearney on the HEADLIGHTS HOME TOUR now. For a full list of tour dates and tickets, visit darrenkiely.com.
Hailing from a quaint town in Co. Cork, Ireland, Darren Kiely’s folk-infused pop sound originates from his inherited love of traditional Irish music, intertwined with modern influences such as The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and Noah Kahan. At just five years old, Darren learned the tin whistle, and at eight years old he picked up the fiddle, eventually teaching himself to play guitar as well. Darren began singing in 2019, quickly garnering attention for his raw and fervent vocals and emotive delivery.
