‘London’ is the new single and video from singer-songwriter Eugene McGuinness. This tender cut is an emotive patchwork of influences and inspirations. His Irish roots influence his wistful, smoky performance style, which is defined by the subtle romanticism and haze of his voice. He currently resides in London; his complex relationship with the city is reflected in his deeply personal lyrics. The track itself was recorded in Liverpool, where his collaboration with producer Gajo Paco helped him bring a unique flavour to the recording, with slide guitar and cello textures colliding with the occasionally off-kilter harmonic choices and his deft hand for melody. ‘London’ is one of McGuinness’s warmest, luxurious tracks yet, so keep an eye out for what follows in 2026. -Dan Peeke
