Today we have the honor and pleasure of introducing you to Dublin-based folk artist Galvo’s debut album The HeARTist. This 14 track indie-folk project is as deep, emotive and meaningful as the artist’s journey to its creation.
With lead single “Getting Better”, Galvo captures the spirit of optimism of self-improvement on a mesmerizing sonic soundscape. Not only is the single resonant and sonically pleasing, it also comes with an accompanying music video that tells a powerful story of the extreme danger of chasing after external validation.
The story and sentiment of the album extend far and beyond the lead single. Galvo’s life experience makes his music rich in depth and stories that can truly be heard by the listener. Drawing from his Irish upbringing as a working-class family that was frequently faced with violence, his years running a Pakistani Hip Hop label in London, and even his acting stints in HBO’s Game of Thrones, Galvo has earned his own voice the hard way.
Adding to the masterpiece of music is the addition of A Dark Horse (Hugh Rodger and Niall Woods) who lent their musical talents to the record. It is sure to leave an indelible mark in your life with the rich storytelling, soul-stirring compositions, and captivating visuals from its lead single. We can’t wait to listen to the soulful music from Galvo, and the moving story behind the release of this album. We don’t know of anyone who has the same unique musical perspective than Galvo, and for that, we are surely eager to have our hearts charmed, and our minds moved, one powerful track at a time.
