	There’s a secret on the tip of my tongue And it’s burning a hole between my lungs There’s no grace for what I have done But I must face what I’ve become Hiding six feet under has always been my way And though the honesty hurts The lying was worse Can’t take it to the grave This is my confessional Of things that I have buried low This is my confessional Please will you redeem my soul? Holy water on the tip of my tongue There’s so much sin for just 21 Hear my penance and all I have done This self-destructive war I’ve won I’ve come out from under to die another day And though the honesty hurts But the crying was worse Now tell me I’ll be saved This is my confessional Of things that I have buried low This is my confessional Please will you redeem my soul? Throw stones if you want to (My confessional) Break bones if you want to (My confessional) That high horse have a good view? (My confessional) I confess

about

Irish songstress Janet Devlin returns to the big leagues with a brand-new release, ‘Confessional’. Her re-entry to the musical landscape is the start of a slow-burn, long-term engagement with her large and loyal fan-base, followers retained during her tenure on the hit show X Factor (2011), as well as those gained from her transformation into one of the UK’s most influential YouTube creators with over half a million subscribers.

‘Confessional’, a darkly defiant folk-tinged anthem, showcases her enchanting vocal style and alludes to her Irish heritage. With its thundering drums – not to mention uilleann pipes, accordion, fiddles, bodhrán, cows ribs and whistles – ‘Confessional’ is the fusion of Janet’s identity, inspirations and influences, transforming it from not only a great introductory piece for the upcoming album, but also a fitting foundation for her re-entry to the musical landscape.

“‘Confessional’ feels like the real beginning. This collection of songs saved me, so the least I could do to repay them was to let the world have a listen. I can’t wait to release my album out into the wild and follow the songs wherever they take me next.”
– Janet Devlin

This song makes a powerful statement, and throws a spotlight on Janet’s decade-long journey towards self-discovery, a fight that has seen her defeat personal demons of every variety. The track, penned by Janet with Nathan Thomas and produced by Jonathan Quarmby (Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker, Benjamin Clementine) is the singer’s announcement to the world that her frank admission of the sins and stories that have defined her journey, will soon be revealed. It also serves as the title track to a larger anthology of confessions which comprise her hotly-anticipated second album.
