My Confessional

Product Information

Kicking off with the excellent ‘Confessional’ and ending with ‘Better Now’, there’s a sense of a narrative with a beginning, middle and end, covering the darkest days, the learning, and – ultimately – emergence from it all. Janet’s voice enters like an icy gale; gliding over the deep bass tones, before being joined by thundering percussion at the halfway mark. For all that, Devlin delivers a stinging riposte to the music business as an entity and to some people in particular.

Arriving six years after her second album (Running with Scissors), the overarching themes here bravely constitute hearts bared and scars displayed. In 2011, Janet Devlin wowed X-Factor judges and charmed the nation with her unique vocals and performances. By bidding on, or purchasing this item, you are agreeing to us sharing your name and address details with that 3rd party supplier to allow us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. Beautifully executed, a demonstration of maturity, strength, courage, wisdom, and survival, we commend Janet Devlin’s ‘Confessional’ to you. The track is not only an announcement of the secrets she is going to unfold on the rest of the record, but also a proper introduction of the Irish folk music that is incorporated with her pop sound.She explores the more grand and bombastic with ‘Saint of the Sinners’ and ‘Away With The Fairies’, and dabbles in electronics with ‘Sweet Sacred Friend’. Good Records is a genre independent record label established in 2010 to distribute, market, and promote artists and music that defy boundaries, reject limitations, and transcend the ordinary.

She consistently received the highest consecutive public vote out of all the contestants and gained a place on the live arena tour. This sets the tone for an album that does not shy away; or attempt to dilute some of the darkest, most vulnerable moments in life; this album faces these uncomfortable periods head on, with unrelenting ferociousness. While opening an Irish track with the words “oh Danny boy” is a little on the nose, album highlight ‘Speak’ shows a stunning range – from wistful and delicate to raw and impassioned.Devlin opens the album with the the title track on which she sings ‘this is my confessional, of things that I have buried low’.
