Mullingar’s Collette Brady-McEntee is a singer that has drawn comparisons to stars like Adele and Freya Ridings, and with her latest single, So Long, Solo, Collette gives us a masterclass in emotional storytelling in a heartfelt tribute to the late lyricist Joy Solomon. 

A classically trained pianist and vocalist, Collette brings a lot to the table as she caught the ear of legendary producer Ian Curnow (Kylie Minogue, Take That). They have crafted a record together that explores human connection and the strength it takes to find your own tribe. It is a tale of human connection that everyone can identify with on some level. We were lucky enough to delve deeper and find out what the track means to Collette and her plans for the future.
