Tempo Talks: A Conversation with Lore
THE RELEASE
In the world of Pop music Lore shines as a symbol of sophistication. It all began in 2015 with a group of dreamers whose ambitions went beyond their living rooms and resonated on Sell Out Theatre Tours. Lore has gained fame for giving Teenage Kicks a twist. Recently they took the stage at the renowned Guildhall, in Derry marking a significant milestone in their rise within the Irish music scene. With harmonies and crafted original songs Lore is often compared to Northern Irish Fleetwood Mac. They have received acclaim and frequent airplay on mainstream radio. Their captivating live performances have shared stages with artists such as Mary Black, Ryan McMullan and The 4 of Us leaving a lasting impression, on audiences. Remarkably all of this success comes before the release of their debut album which promises to be an anticipated masterpiece that will solidify their position as influential creators shaping contemporary Irish music. The story of Lore unfolds with tales of innovation, artistic expression and that special touch of magic woven into the ever changing landscape of Irish music.
"I'm Right Here" is a song, by Lore, written by guitarist Luke McCloskey as a heartfelt tribute to his late father when he was just eight years old. Told from the perspective of the departed this touching melody comes alive through the vocals of singer Carolann Carlile and the evocative piano melodies played by Diarmuid O'Kane. In this song Lore beautifully intertwines not a story but also a universal narrative, about love and enduring connections. Grounded in experiences "I'm Right Here" showcases Lores dedication to creating music that touches the depths of listeners souls offering comfort and connection through shared emotions. Through this composition Lore invites listeners into a space of contemplation where the gentle echoes of loss and love reverberate forming a landscape that goes beyond stories and transforms into an anthem representing our collective human experience.
