about

Dublin-based indie pop artist Cat Dowling presents 'Freedom', a lush slice of soulful pop perfection, well timed for the easing of lockdown restrictions happening in many countries and inspired by a life-changing occasion for Cat. This is the second single from the forthcoming album by this Kilkenny-born singer songwriter, to be released in autumn.

“I wrote this song just after the birth of my second child. It was the early hours of the morning and he was sleeping on my chest. The days had no plan and I loved those quiet hours in the dead of the night when the world slept. The lines and melody landed together. I didn’t know where they came from at the time but now they make sense – it’s a song about being free to be the person we’re born to be without the baggage and shackles of what went before us,” says Cat Dowling.

Produced by Gerry Horan with Dowling as co-producer, and mixed by Ger McDonnell (The Cure, U2, Van Morrison, Martha Wainwright, Shane McGowan, Sinead O'Connor), this was partially recorded at Crossroads Studio in Kilkenny, which housed the town's first pirate radio station. with support from Ireland's Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media.
