Posted December 5, 2025Dec 5 It’s here! One of my most anticipated albums of the year, after his 3 fantastic single releases. Dove is an Irish singer songwriter with a gorgeous but unique indie folk/rock sound. If you want some references then I can hear some Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and even some Queen in there, but Dove is definitely his own person. Spotify link if anyone is interested?
