A Crescendo Ending is the sophomore EP from Irish indie artist Holly Munro, releasing on June 20 with Kartel Music Group. This EP harnesses her real strength as a songwriter by embracing a warm production and a close look into Munros’ unique perspective.

‘Out of Style’, the new single, is a song that details a communication breakdown in a relationship. Speaking of the single she says, “This song is about a relationship falling apart because of not talking about your problems. It reminisces the good times, while at the same time recognising that something has changed”.

Speaking of new single ‘Glow Up’, she says, “this song is a reminder that we all have our struggles and moments of self-doubt, but there’s so much beauty and meaning in each of us”. Inspired by her close friend struggling to recognise her own beauty at a house party, ‘Glow Up’ is a song that was written in the early hours of that morning. Reflecting on how we are all filled with unique beauty and depth that goes beyond our understanding, this alt-pop track reminds us of our beauty both on the inside and out.

Alongside this single release, Holly announces her highly anticipated debut EP Up Against Your Nature. Themes running throughout include heart to hearts with friends (‘Glow Up’), uncovering a new side of yourself (‘Open Ended’), looking after yourself (‘Give Yourself Love’) or just taking a walk in nature (‘The Water’). Focusing on how these little moments make all the difference in life, the EP is a celebration into the journey and the sense of relief that comes with choosing a path towards self compassion and love. This EP itself is a big milestone for Holly, both musically and thematically. She continues, “While the stories behind these songs are personal to me, I hope that the message they convey inspires others on their own journey of self-discovery, resilience, and self-compassion”

Together with producer Luke Potashnick, she works at Wool Hall Studios in Frome, Somerset, which was previously owned by Tears for Fears during the recording of their Songs from the Big Chair album.

Speaking of the new track, Holly says, “I remember writing most of it one evening when I stumbled home after a long day. My mental health was in a rough spot, and it was taking a toll on how I treated myself. But that night, something magical happened. I sat down at my piano, and then these lyrics popped into my head: “Give in, show yourself love today.” It was like this universal wisdom saying, “hey, it’s alright, love..be kind to yourself and everything else will sort itself out.” She continues, “The early demo version of the song was way slower than what you hear now but when myself and my producer Luke Potashnick brought it into the studio its tempo increased and transformed it into a real celebration! It became less of a slow, contemplative tune and more of an energetic anthem”
