Malin trio The Henry Girls have announced a new album to follow their new single, out today.
The folk sisters will release A Time To Grow on January 26th 2024.
For a taste of what’s to come, The Henry Girls have joined forces with Armagh singer Ríoghnach Connolly, the current BBC Folk Singer Of The Year, to release a powerful single, Not Your Fight.
Not Your Fight is a moving message for all those who find themselves helplessly witnessing a world torn apart by ceaseless conflict and violence. The single serves as a reminder of the shared human experience and our capacity for compassion and understanding in a world too often marked by discord.
The upcoming album is a testament to The Henry Girls’ musical evolution and their ability to create a rich tapestry of sound. Known for their folk-inspired music, Karen, Lorna, and Joleen McLaughlin have gained a dedicated following worldwide, and their upcoming album showcases the depth of their artistry. Working with Tommy McLaughlin at Attica Audio in Donegal (Soak, Ailbhe Reddy, Pillow Queens) whose work has been celebrated in the industry, has enabled the group to deliver a musical experience that is both sonically exquisite and emotionally profound.
“Collaborating with Tommy McLaughlin has been a transformative experience for us,” says Karen of The Henry Girls. “This album is a reflection of our growth as musicians and our desire to create music that inspires and connects with people on a deeply emotional level.”
This album was part funded by the Arts Council of Ireland’s Music Industry Stimulus Package, which is managed by First Music Contact.
The album is set to be released on 26th January 2024 and Not Your Fight will be available from the 10th November 2023 on all major streaming platforms.
The Henry Girls would like to thank Malin artist Tim Stampton for the album cover design and Richard Walsh at ZooCreative for the single cover.
