Uly's debut EP, if you were a day, you'd be sunday – songs to go walking to, is due out this Friday. Just a week before the highly-anticipated 6 track record drops, the Dubliner has released its first single, called 'i don't need to understand'.

The track follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, full of rich horns, funk beats and Uly's lush soul-tinged falsetto.

"Normally, the lyrical content and song’s ‘meaning’ comes after, at the very end of the process when the bulk of the harmony and melody has fleshed out," says the Dubliner.

"This time around however, it started off with that little vocal hook/line at the start. After that, all the melodic parts and lyrics started coming to me pretty much simultaneously, except for the brass. I had to work on that a good bit. For example, I’d be tweaking some guitar parts but then lyrics and a vocal melody would pop out, so I’d record both at the same time just to make sure I didn’t lose anything. It was a bit of a scramble, I wanted to get this down quick before I lost my mojo and was left with nothing (it happens far too often) – so the bulk of the song was done in a day or so, and hasn’t changed all that much since then, which I love.”
