Eleanor McEvoy's new album "I.d Rather Go Blonde" will be released 20th September. It is the eighth album in a twenty year career that has seen
McEvoy establish herself as one of Ireland's most accomplished singer / songwriters. Never one to shy away from the big issues, this album
sees McEvoy tackling themes such as alienation, hypocrisy, recent Irish history and romance. The songs are typified by a lyrical élan and
often leavened with a touch of humour. "For Avoidance Of Any Doubt" features a plaintive soul using her solicitor to berate an absent
lover for not returning calls, and the title track is built around a phrase that just made McEvoy laugh! As she says herself, "I always
try to express myself clearly and honestly. I was the odd one, the tubby girl with glasses who had to go to violin lessons after school.
The ray of sunlight was the radio with its music. The escape was learning to sing and play instruments and play with others and write and
just get out there. Anyway this album is all me, and I am very proud of it."
Eleanor McEvoy - I'd Rather Go Blonde, the new album,
