After years of honing his craft, busking on Glasgow’s famous Buchanan Street, singer/songwriter Christy O’Donnell has released his debut single ‘On My Mind’.
A stirring debut from the Glaswegian artist, ‘On My Mind’ is a gentle, heartfelt note to a past lover. Predominantly featuring a delicate acoustic guitar and Christy’s incredibly dynamic, tender vocals, it also features string sections from Tom Hobden (Mumford and Sons) and jazz musician Nick Pini (Laura Marling) as it moves through captivating chord changes, which seem to mirror Christy’s changing mood throughout the song.
Christy said: “‘On My Mind’ is a note to an old lover. Almost as a process of moving on for myself by finally being able to forgive myself for a situation but also letting her know that I will always think of her.”
The release is taken from Christy’s upcoming debut EP ‘Homegrown’, a collection of songs which mix the vocal tenderness of Jeff Buckley or Chris Martin with the swirling musicality of Bon Iver, and it’s an infactuating introduction to Christy’s career as a recording artist. We can’t wait to hear more.
