Single Review - Chaos - Stevie O'Connor

If you have seen Stevie O’Connor perform live then you KNOW you have seen him.  Stevie has what can only be described as a BIG stage presence, which is why he has already won awards – including the Silverball Country Award for Entertainer of the Year.

If you have met Stevie off stage you will know that he has a much more gentle, almost humble, personality than his on stage persona.

Those who have followed his musical journey have been waiting for him to release music – I first met Stevie playing in a songwriters round and loved his voice from his first song!

With his release of Chaos we get to see which personality come to the fore!

Chaos is not a party song, it is not a clap along sing out loud song.  It is a beautifully crafted, gentle song which not only demonstrates the range that Stevie has in his vocals but also addresses an issue that has become so very important after the year we have all had. It addresses the struggles that an individual may have when their mental health becomes strained.

Recorded following some difficult personal circumstances, Stevie chose to almost slip the song out into the world and allow it to grow.  No fuss, no ceremony.  Off stage Stevie.

Chaos is a beautiful song, relaxing, and well written and performed both vocally and with the instrumentation.  When you need to take a pause in your day, put this on, sit back and stop stressing, if only for four minutes.

If we all take just one thing from the song and the message within…

Mental Health should no longer be a taboo. It is ok to say “I need help”.

 

Chaos, the debut single from Stevie O’Connor is available on all major platforms from Friday 14 May

Stevie can be seen live on the Main Stage at Buckle and Boots on the Friday night and on Facebook, Instagram and his website
