Just over a year after the release of Fontaines D.C.'s latest album, Skinty Fia, the band's lauded vocalist Grian Chatten has shared his debut solo single, 'The Score' – out today, via Partisan Records.

“'The Score’ is a heavyweight bated breath of lust," Grian says of the track. "I wrote it in Madrid between an electric fan and a dying plant and I intend to keep it there. It was inspired by sugar and sunset.”

The single showcases a new side of Grian's artistry – as he delves into new sonic territories, and explores a remarkably introspective space in his lyricism.

Grian has also launched his own solo website and social media platforms – suggesting there may be more of his own music in the pipeline...

'The Score' arrives after a phenomenally busy 12 months for Fontaines D.C., who debuted at No.1 in both the UK and Ireland with Skinty Fia. The album – which was previously named Hot Press' Album of the Year, and scored a nomination at the Choice Music Prize – earned a nomination last week for Best Album at the upcoming Ivor Novello Awards.

The success of the album also led to the Irish band being crowned Best International Group at the BRIT Awards earlier this year, as well as Irish Artist of the Year at the Choice Music Prize.
