With the release of her stirring debut EP Third Second Chance, emerging Irish artist Lucy McWilliams looks certain to confirm her place as one of her home country’s most exciting rising artists and someone with an engrossing and infectious charm that resonates with listeners in a deep and resounding way.

A stellar taste of what is to come from the artist comes in the form of ‘Old Ways’, a liberating celebration about shedding anything in your life that is holding you back or keeping you from being who you truly are, making for a cathartic and soaring track that feels empowering and fierce as it progresses. The artist’s lush alt-pop sound and the emboldening nature of her lyrics make for a compelling and memorable listen that will stick to you for long after your listen, and hopefully make you want to strive for everything that you have been hoping to be and achieve in life.

Speaking about “Old Ways”, she said, “Old Ways is about letting go of a version of yourself that you’ve grown out of. In the past I have found it easy to get comfortable with my current situation due to my surroundings and fear of change. This song is a message to break free, whether that be from your hometown, a relationship, or just the desire for more from life. It reminds me that change is important for growth and never to forget that.”
