Caroline Keane announces new album and shares first single ft Steve Cooney

Caroline Keane has announced her new album Rise, arriving May 8.

To celebrate this announcement, Keane has released the first track from the album titled 'Three Sisters' ft. Steve Cooney.

Accompanying the single is a new film shot in the rugged landscapes of West Kerry, portraying three generations of sisters moving through the rhythms of everyday life.

The film – directed by Keane with videography and editing by Michael Kelly – aims to reflect the quiet continuity between past and present, where heritage, landscape and music shape each new generation.

'Three Sisters' introduces the central themes of Rise, an album described as being shaped by motherhood, legacy, and the vital role of women in Irish traditional music.

The album is dedicated to Keane’s mother and grandmother and honours the lineage of women whose resilience and creativity continue to carry the tradition forward.

“The three sisters are always there. I love to think about how they have witnessed generations of women living, working and making music in this place,” says Keane. “For me they symbolise resilience, strength and continuity.”
