Mundy on reuniting with producer Youth

Approaching his third decade in the music biz, Mundy found himself in a creative slump. The pressures of family life had seen the 39 year old find songwriting difficult; to rectify matters, he went back to his Youth.
“I hadn’t seen him since I finished up my album in 1995,” he explains, reflecting on a chance meeting with his old producer after a Killing Joke gig in Dublin. “I was telling him ‘I’ve got kids now’ and ‘I’m finding it hard to write, a lot of pressure’ and all of that. He said ‘Come over to London and we’ll try to do a bit of co-writing together.’”
In the end, the collaboration resulted in Mundy, the new record which Mr Enright feels is the very best of his career.
“It definitely showcases my broad span of songwriting,” he says, “from the heartfelt ballad to the upbeat rock ‘n’ roll. I would say it’s a collection of songs; the production is what holds it all together.”
