After flirting with the folk side of life for over ten years, Sinead Madden has taken a definitive step into the singer-songwriter genre with ease and grace. Her sensational debut album 'Honey Promises' is a stunning collection of beautifully crafted songs playing on every human emotion.

Honey Promises takes you on a journey of a reminiscent heart and the reality of life in its new beginnings mixed with the emotion of a magic lost in a haze of time. Her storytelling is full of immaculate melodies that captures the heart and soul and seduces you to live in the moment. Her vocals hint at the sincerity and warmth of Jewel and the maturity and elegance of Sarah Mclachlan. Her songs exude an air of mystery and intrigue that snares an audience like a sizzling drama. Mesmerizing and exquisite at every turn.

Sinead's soulfulness is captured in its true essence when she takes to the stage. If her self-assured and hearty debut in The Academy, Dublin is anything to go by then we have much to be hopeful for. She has all the makings of the Queen of cool. Showing no signs that this was her first step into the spotlight she positively owned the stage from the word go. Graceful delivery in a powerful understated performance.

I once read a biography on the lives and works of the Beatles called "The Love You Make", and pretty much decided then that THAT was what I wanted to do. Write songs and perform them. It seemed to me then, as it does today, a noble way to live a life, and I've managed to get reasonably good at it.

The music business (although I remain convinced that those two words should never sit in the same sentence) has always frustrated me, and any encounter I've had with it has left me empty. I have been in and out of various contracts throughout my 15 years of writing and performing, but recently came to the conclusion that "there's only one way of life, and that's your own".

I now try to concentrate on the opportunities that songcraft presents to me. I am blessed with the ability to communicate through song, and as a result, I am often invited to sing throughout the world. I therefore try to breathe every moment of this journey deeply into my lungs, in the knowledge that whatever stage I strive for, whatever future goal I may have will only take from my appreciation of this present moment.

Live Now.
