Dublin singer-songwriter Ailbhe Reddy has just released her second album Endless Affair, the followup to 2020's Personal History. She says: "Endless Affair is about a fear of letting go. Either of a party or a relationship. The start of the album is about wanting to hold onto youthful chaos and old romances. The end is an acceptance of how letting go is natural and grounding. I think it shows the duality that can exist within a person. They can be a drunk mess at a party, a good friend, a daughter, a bad girlfriend, a hopeless romantic. All of those can exist within one person.”
