Pop/folk singer-songwriter Darren Kiely releases his latest track today, “Slow Decay.” Written by Kiely along with Gabe Simon, the heart-wrenching song battles moving on from something and struggling to let go.

“‘Slow Decay’ came from a place of holding on to things and people you know won’t come back,” Kiely said. “I’m excited for people to hear it! I hope it helps them let go of whatever they’re holding on to.”

“Slow Decay” is Kiely’s first new music of the year following his debut EP, Lost, which he released last fall. Darren Kiely has a unique presentation of folk-infused pop and lush storytelling, which echoes the backdrop of the Irish countryside where he was raised, is the forefront of Lost. Kiely solo-wrote four of the seven tracks on the project and co-wrote the other three. The EP explores the triumphant war of overcoming self-doubt, struggling to find himself, questioning emotions and seeking answers. Lost features new track “Mom & Dad,” which debuted in the Top 40 on the Irish Singles Chart and also landed him in the Top 5 on the Irish Homegrown chart, as well as fan-favorite “Sunrise.” Listen to Lost here.

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.
