Strange Boy announces new album and shares first single ‘God Help Him (Seemingly He Didn’t)'

Limerick native Strange Boy (aka Jordan McNally Kelly) has announced his sophomore LP and shared first single ‘God Help Him (Seemingly He Didn’t) produced by Enda Gallery.

His album Say Nothin’ is set to be released in 2025. To celebrate the upcoming record, Strange Boy will give local fans the opportunity to listen to the album before its release in an exclusive Limerick show at The Commercial on December 15.

Say Nothin' will be released under Clare based record label Welcome To the New World, making it the second album the musician has released with the label.

Strange Boy has coined a unique sound fusing traditional Irish music and modern hip hop. His love of trad and his patriotism is felt deeply in his music, “Any Irish person that hears trad I think it connects with them automatically because it’s an ancestral thing,” said the artist in a 2021 interview with Hot Press.

The musician was part of Limerick-based collaborative album project Live at the Record Room Vol. Recorded in an intimate venue beneath The Commercial, the album showcases a variety of Limerick born talents.

Dublin fans can catch Strange Boy in Whelan’s Upstairs, on March 6 2025. Tickets are available now. Tickets for the intimate album preview show in Limerick are available here.
