\"Album<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Multi award-winning singer-songwriter Kim Carnie<\/strong> is set to unveil a compelling new single, \u2018<\/strong>\u00d2ran na B\u00e8iste Maoile\u2019<\/strong><\/em>,<\/em> on Friday 27th<\/sup> June 2025<\/strong>, offering a striking glimpse into the evolving soundscape of her upcoming album set for release this September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in Gaelic folklore and shaped by global sounds, \u2018\u00d2ran na B\u00e8iste Maoile\u2019<\/em> was written specifically with world music royalty and kora player Seckou Keita<\/strong> in mind. The two artists previously collaborated in 2022, and this latest venture sees Kim fuse her cinematic Gaelic soundscapes with Keita\u2019s enchanting West African instrumentation. The result is a musically mesmerising showcase of transformation, myth and illusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song tells the story of a woman who becomes a water-dwelling beast – inspired by ancient seal-people legends – and is thematically tied to The Moon<\/em> tarot card, representing illusion, hidden truths and the supernatural. Like the card itself, the single invites listeners to consider what lies beneath the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kim Carnie, said:<\/strong> \u201cThis track feels like the heart of the album, I\u2019ve written all new melodies for texts that are ancient, magical and mysterious. I knew Seckou\u2019s voice and musicality would bring this one to life in an entirely unique way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u00d2ran na B\u00e8iste Maoile\u2019<\/em> is the first glimpse into Kim Carnie\u2019s upcoming second solo album, due in September 2025<\/strong>. The record is a daring departure from traditional interpretations of Gaelic song, with all but two of the album\u2019s melodies newly composed. Each song explores ritual, spell, or incantation and will be accompanied by bespoke visuals and a dedicated tarot card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new single features a strong line-up of well-known musicians. Kim Carnie<\/strong> leads with her distinctive Gaelic vocals. She is joined by Senegalese kora player and vocalist Seckou Keita<\/strong>, who brings a West African influence to the recording. Innes White<\/strong> plays guitar and provides backing vocals, while Megan Henderson<\/strong>(Breabach) adds harmonies. John Lowrie<\/strong> (Staran) is on piano with James Lindsay<\/strong> (Breabach) on double bass, and Mark Scobbie<\/strong> (M\u00e0nran) providing percussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned for her \u201cvelvet-voiced authority\u201d (The Scotsman<\/em>), Kim has made a name for herself at the intersection of folk tradition and genre-blending innovation. She is the lead vocalist of folk powerhouse M\u00e0nran<\/strong>, a founding member of Staran<\/strong>, and an internationally recognised composer and session vocalist, with credits on productions including Netflix\u2019s Outlaw King<\/em> and Black Mirror<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u00d2ran na B\u00e8iste Maoile\u2019<\/em> <\/em>follows the success of Kim\u2019s work on the multi-award-winning documentary Kim Carnie: Out Loud<\/strong><\/em>. The film, which explored her personal story and musical journey, earned widespread acclaim at international festivals and picked up awards including Best Song in a Film<\/em> at the Milan Independent Awards and Best Music in a Feature Film<\/em> at the Austin International Art Festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the success of her debut solo album And So We Gather<\/em>, Kim embarks on a UK tour this September to celebrate her upcoming second album<\/strong>, followed by a European tour<\/strong> later in the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single was recorded at GloWorm Recording<\/strong>, engineered and mixed by Iain Hutchison<\/strong>, with additional recording of Keita\u2019s parts at Goumel Studio Ziguinchor, S\u00e9n\u00e9gal<\/strong>, by Moussa Ngom<\/strong>. Mastering was completed by Peter Beckmann<\/strong>at TechnologyWorks Mastering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
