Soundtracks Uncovered: A Review of Nially's Lay My Head

Hailing from Kerry, Irish singer songwriter, Nially is back with one of my top picks for the summer, his newest single Lay My Head

Born into a musical family Niall has been immersed in the music scene from a very young age, kickstarting his gigging around his hometown at the age of sixteen. The Indie Pop singer has always had a deep passion for writing and creating his own music, a passion that's evident throughout his songs.

During Lockdown season of 2020, Niall released a demo of his original songs which received an immensely positive reaction, setting his time in the studio in motion. During the first four weeks following the release of his Debut Single, I Want it All, Nially had over 10,000 streams proving his raspy voice and emotionally relatable lyrics a roaring success.

Starting off with soft guitar, Nially's raspy voice captivates the listener before picking up the tempo in the chorus and hitting us with the heartbreaking reality that they've been cheated on. The chorus brings about closure to the relationship with the lyrics; Cause I will never let the reigns fall upon your hands Where I lay my head.

Lay My Head is a powerful heartbreak anthem. It's a song to cry along with in the shower or to blare on those summer roadtrips and just sing your heart out.

Niall's raspy voice leads us on a journey through heartbreak, of never getting back with that person no matter how hard it is and the fall out following the breakup. Nially's unmatched talent for writing truly captivating lyrics is evident throughout this tune, making it an undeniable heartbreak hit.

Niall is an immensely talented singer songwriter who comes back with incredibly catchy and relatable tunes time and time again, incorporating truly poetic, authentic and relatable lyrics making him an artist to watch in 2023.
