about

“On the 4th of February 2022, a companion will set sail, and I will be alongside it because I dared to try.

A bird will leave the branch on which it has rested for too long, and while the bough will eventually settle, the one in flight will not.

The boat’s dock lines are about to be cast off. The bird is primed. And hope must prevail.“

Sometimes was written by myself, and produced and arranged by Martin Quinn at JAM Studios, Kells, Co. Meath. Martin and I both perform on the track together with Andrew Quinn.

The cover art was photographed by me, and designed by myself and Donny Keane.

A digital release, Sometimes is available on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify and Soundcloud as well as all main music platforms.

Some thoughts on the song…

“From the moment I got the demo of this song, the melody and chord structure that Emma Hynes wrote, felt like something from the songwriting stables of Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann, Beck or Paul McCartney – and that’s good company in my book.

The descending chord sequence on the chorus, and incredible melody, were a gift to arrange the string score for.” - Martin Quinn, JAM Studios

“The new single by Dublin songsmith Emma Hynes sounds like a lost classic by The Carpenters in its pure, soaring vocals, heart-tugging lyrics and lush arrangement with a wonderful string section. With any justice, this should be one of those songs that makes the whole world sing.” - Nick Kelly, Broadsheet.ie

“’Sometimes’ is a delicate and moving single from Emma Hynes. She spreads emotive lyrics over a lush sweeping backdrop of warm strings supple percussion and acoustic guitar to create a truly compelling listening experience. Her voice exudes a soothing lamentful tone as she croons “with you I feel I have won something, I’d like to hold on to‘’ while lush harmonies coo in the backdrop. It’s a well-crafted song brimming with rich musicianship and poignant songwriting. ’Sometimes’ is a magnificent new single from Hynes.” - Danu, Indie Buddie
