Eugene McGuinness - London

'London' is the majestic new single from the returning Eugene McGuinness.

Adorned with sweeping string sections and lovelorn lyricism, this latest release is both a stirring paean and playful personification of the capital. 

London is where McGuinness was born and currently resides, but a place he’d never really call ‘home’ - despite his deep affection for the city. Born to Irish parents, his complex relationship with the city is considered in this lyrically personal - yet universal - exploration.

McGuinness' wry lyrical flair is once again flaunted in this 'widescreen romance' about displacement and uncertainty. Capturing the dichotomous nature of London - both its fun, vibrant and romantic surface; and its hard, bleak and intolerant underbelly - it’s a song that muses themes of identity and belonging, of where you come from and where you're going, in a place that can seem to be fighting against you.

Recorded at Liverpool’s Docklands Speed Shop with friend and producer Gajo Paco, its tasteful additions of cello, slide guitar and wurlitzer were also added to the mix there.

'London' is a  lush, warm and cinematic new addition to Eugene McGuinness’ canon.
