My Confessional

Product Information

In The Irish Times Tony Clayton-Lea said that sometimes the music did not match the lyrical themes of independence and survival, with "the assertiveness of one undermined by the ineffectiveness of the other", but that overall "Devlin delivers a stinging riposte to the music business as an entity and to some people in particular". Those highs included signing for the Dalai Lama, performing to over 80,000 at Croke Park and even having Courtney Love insist that she was a distant relative of Kurt’s, although there is no evidence for this claim.

The chorus is infectious and should become a big singalong moment when Devlin can finally go out and tour with this record. In 2011, she competed on Series 8 of The X Factor, making the finals and gaining a place on the live arena tour. Although the subject matter is heavy, the song itself is a perfectly crafted radio friendly pop anthem with hooks, a flawless build up and her signature tender vocal style. Beautifully executed, a demonstration of maturity, strength, courage, wisdom, and survival, we commend Janet Devlin’s ‘Confessional’ to you. While her last record was a simple yet charming bouncy folk pop affair, Confessional sees her branching out into new styles and really finding her feet in the process.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). A real highlight however must be cutting my vinyl at the studio - I had never seen the technique before and had the best time immersed in the process, and even got Christian to engrave a personal quote from me onto the lacquer.

While the album is certainly great in its own right, there is a sense that you’re not getting the full experience without the documentary. Since then she has released her debut album, Running with Scissors (2014), which is followed by Confessional, due for release in May 2020.There’s even a book to accompany the release – titled ‘My Confessional’ – both featuring Devlin in red-haired goddess style on the cover. Confessional, her third album, is released in tandem with an autobiography (of the same title) and mirrors in more compact ways issues with not just music industry puppeteers but also as someone who worked within it – eventually, on her own terms. She sings her truth, but never in a self-absorbed manner that would alienate her audience and she definitely brings the tunes too.

The highly anticipated sophomore album is fueled by pop songs that wear not only their hearts, but their scars on their sleeves, sharing Janet’s extraordinary personal journey. Janet Devlin first rose to prominence as a contestant on The X Factor, where her unique vocal style saw her reach the quarter finals of the competition.

Her voice is the keystone of the record as, apart from on the minor filler track ‘Love Song’, her vocals here are their most developed and expressive to date. Find out what recordist Christopher Parker, technical engineer Leon Marks and mastering engineer Alex Gordon shared from their year at Abbey . The lyrics are woven into a tale; taking on an almost folklore-esque quality; an element that is richly woven and embedded in Irish culture. Especially ‘Sweet Sacred Friend’ and ‘Holy Water’ are both lighter in spirit, upbeat, insanely catchy and drenched in Irish folk instrumentation.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I’m also really glad that I’ve waited, as I’ve done so much personal growth in these past years – so I’ve never felt more ready and supported to put out an honest album such as this. There is a melting pot of folk, pop and traditional Irish music shaping the album’s sonic blueprint with Irish scene legends such as Davy Spillane, Eoin Dillan, Brian Fleming and Peter Browne featuring alongside production from Jonathan Quarmby (Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker). I was so thrilled and lucky to be able to have all 12 tracks mastered at Abbey Road - you just can't get a more iconic studio!
