Track of the Day: Dale Bolger - 'Diamonds and Pearls'

Carlow singer-songwriter Dale Bolger has returned with a fresh, irresistibly catchy new single 'Diamonds and Pearls'.

The track follows on from previous singles, 2020's 'Fever', 'Young & Dumb' and 2019's 'Make You Mine' and 'The Way You Say My Name'.

Having received placement on a wide variety of playlists worldwide - garnering over 100,000 streams on his work thus far - Dale is making his returns bigger and better than ever.

The young artist has been working by the DIY musician mantra, having self-released six original tracks along with a four-track live 'From Home' Sessions EP, in less than 2 years. The 24-year-old has been playing music all over Ireland for the past seven years, playing at a number of local music festivals and supporting Irish artists such as Mick Flannery.

“It's is not a bad start, especially for someone who was taking care of all aspects of the promotion by themselves," Dale says of his independent roots.

The singers latest offering, ‘Diamonds and Pearls’, is a catchy love song with an anthemic chorus. The mixture of exciting guitar, rhythmic drums and high-powered vocals are some of the top quality aspects.

“This song has a very simple concept” says Dale of his latest single.

“It’s a love song with a little edge, driven by strong electric guitar and a catchy hook. This is the first song I have released where I was in total control. While I have written every word of each record I’ve
released so far, this is the first time I have stepped into the role of producer. Lockdown gave me plenty of time to find the right sound.”

“By no means am I a record producer but getting to release something that I created from top to bottom is very rewarding," Dale adds.

With a build-up of momentum throughout and crystal clear vocal strength, Bolger's track nabs attention.
