52 - Paddy Keyes on Debut EP 'Over & Over'

I'm thrilled to FINALLY welcome my friend Paddy Keyes onto Léim Thart with his brilliant debut EP 'Over & Over'. After several years of releasing indie-pop bangers, the Sligo-native, Dublin-based artist has shared his first body of work with the world. We got to dive into the journey so far, some track details, and what to expect this year!

Keyes explores past experiences of various relationships in his youth throughout the EP. In the title track ‘Over & Over’, Keyes shares his frustrations of working a part time job, while in ‘Not Ready To Love You’, he sends a voice message to a former partner expressing his true feelings. Each song has a message to someone in the past from Keyes’ current perspective, followng a very strong 2024 for the 23-year-old, selling out his headline show in Whelan’s Upstairs in November, securing support slots across the UK and Ireland for the likes of Good Neighbours, Post-Party and Holler, as well as taking the stage at Sea Sessions Surf & Music Festival in June.
