After a run of glistening new tracks (‘System’,‘Lessons’) at the back end of 2018, Sinead Harnett is back with her new single, ‘By Myself’.
Released as her first new material of 2019, the track, produced by Stint, acts as a primer to a much-anticipated full-length project which is due later this year, and hears the Londoner explore the complex emotions that underpin relationships.
“By Myself was inspired by a ‘can’t live with, can’t live without’ relationship”, Sinead explains – “When you know you’re not the most compatible for each other, but you can’t imagine your partner being anybody else. That bitter sweet notion of always coming back to them, even if it’s not the healthiest thing to be doing.”
