Mick Flannery’s songs are fluent in expressing layered aspects of the human condition, its flaws, triumphs, and general uncertainty. The sum is greater than the parts when matched with SON, who’s soulful, husky vocals are on full display, resulting in an affecting ballad of he said, she said.

There’s something exciting about seeing a chart-topping artist at the top of his craft, with his familiar heavy-hearted approach to the verse, met by a fresh faced, wise beyond her years new talent, that makes the song so compelling.

With “Baby Talk,” when they each sing “real is in the feeling,” it’s felt here tenfold, through the moving performances of both artists. Mick and Susan will perform on stage together live at the Glór, Ennis, Clare, Saturday 15th February.
