From the initial strums of his guitar, Eugene McGuinness’ latest single ‘Seascape’ feels like a deep exhale, a warm, salty breeze of acceptance that finds contentment in reflection. Written in the North of Ireland and recorded in Liverpool’s Dockland Speed Shop, the essence of the dock is interwoven in every free-flowing element, notably through its landscape imagery and familiar whistle, the picture of a seaside postcard.

His vocals sit somewhere between Paolo Nutini’s soul edge and Jake Bugg’s country rasp, lingering with bittersweet melancholy that is tenderly profound. Equally, the strings, guitar, and piano drift together as easily as the tide meeting the shore, and by the final note we are left standing barefoot at the water’s edge, content enough to be washed away. As his first single in years, it doesn’t just revisit the shore, it charts a new horizon, proof that McGuinness’ tide still rises, full of freshness, sunlight, and restless possibility.
