Irya Gmeyner
Hi everyone.
Each week I will post a blog about an artist I have come across and who has blown me away.
This week for the first entry, I am travelling all the way to Sweden to tell you about Irya Gmeyner ( http://www.myspace.com/iryamusic ) & (http://www.irya.se/).
She started off in a band called Urga which musical genre was closer to punk & ska though you could already hear some pop melodies. (http://www.myspace.com/urgamusic)
Now her musical genre is more pop rock. The melodies are enchanting, the lyrics beautiful. The whole project is very catchy!
She has recorded her first EP with some of the best swedish musicians (from T.S.O.O.L to weeping willows), mixed by Mr Lundberg himself from Soundtrack of our lives (a few years ago, Noel Gallagher supported this band as being one of the best of our times).
So you can all imagine the quality of this first EP.
All that is left to say, is go and listen, buy, download, stream whatever you like doing, but go check her out!

Take care.

Some record covers just scream out to me. “Intriguing!” was the loud message calling out from this one. And I’m pleased to say that neither Irya’s voice nor songs disappointed me.
She has a unique voice reminiscent of numerous eminent predecessors but in a way that you can’t really put a finger any of them! This I really like. The songs are confusingly understated, poppy, upbeat and slightly mysterious. They totally defy any accurate description. All I know is they’re great, as is the beautiful Irya. I hope she has a glittering future ahead. I look forward to following it with relish.
