Upcoming UK artist Roisin O’Hagan has released the video for her most recent single Living in the Dark, which came out on May 31. You can watch the video below. [wpdevart_youtube]_XdxiDdl_qc[/wpdevart_youtube] The Essex based artist has had a very busy 2019, performing a number of gigs – including one in Nashville – while also working on new music. O’Hagan has also been busy supporting other artists, including Chris Shiflett, Pete Murray, Angel Snow, The Luck and The Black Feathers this year. Speaking about the song, O’Hagan said that firstly the track itself is about not only making yourself aware of any issues, but battling them all the same and that she wanted the video to represent that – which added extra impetus to the colours that were used for the shooting. “Living In The Dark is about acknowledging whatever demons you have and admitting that you are still fighting them,” O’Hagan said. “It’s about not quite being out of the woods yet – whatever the scenario. “I wanted the video to portray this and to leave room for people to fit their own narrative to it. The colour, smoke and overall chaos is meant to represent that side of someone, a side that is angry, lost and alone, in contrast to how normal things might seem on the surface.” It remains to be seen whether Roisin O’Hagan will continue releasing singles or put out an EP in 2020, but it seems very likely that there will be new music arriving in the new year, in addition to more gigs.    

Megan McKenna will be continuing her country music journey by physically releasing her debut album ‘Story of Me’ for the first time on December 6. You can pre-order the album here. Former reality TV star McKenna has just made headlines across the UK for winning the celebrity edition of The X Factor by quite some distance, with the Essex based artist taking over 46% of the final vote– meaning that she topped the public vote every single week. ‘Story of Me’ was actually released in December 2018, with the album going straight to Number One on the UK Country Album Chart, so hopes are high in the Megan McKenna camp that this will translate into performing well amongst physical sales. Speaking at the time of its release, McKenna said that the album was hugely personal to her and that being able to put her feelings and thoughts into her music has really helped her move on from tough times. “It’s very personal to me and expresses my heartbreaks, ups and downs in my life and the pain and hurt I’ve been through,”McKenna said. “Music is my therapy and writing my feelings down in my songs has really helped me through.” McKenna’s recent single This, which doesn’t feature on the album as it’s a newer song, is in contention to be the Christmas Number One following her success on The X Factor,
