Katie Phelan - 'nothing stays the same'

Giving us the first glance into her upcoming EP 'Blues and Greens' - Katie Phelan sharing delightful new single 'nothing stays the same'.

This warm and nostalgic track is filled with that quiet ache that comes with leaving home and navigating change - not just for the place, but the people, the landscape, and the version of yourself that only exists there. For Irish singer-songwriter Katie Phelan, this bittersweet tug forms the heart of her upcoming EP, Blues and Greens.

Inspired by the likes of honest songwriters unafraid to tap into their vulnerabilities, such as Billie Marten, Adrienne Lenker and Niamh Regan, her upcoming EP is a reassuring hug to anyone experiencing anxious thoughts around a new chapter in their life. It represents a pivotal moment in the artist’s life, capturing the balance between missing her hometown in Ireland, and embracing new experiences in this next stage of life. “It's about being scared of change, but being grateful to have experienced something you’ll miss so much.” Katie reflects.
