Our Take

With "Absolutely Irish," various artists come together to showcase the best of Irish music in a compilation that is as diverse as it is infectious. From traditional folk tunes to modern pop anthems, this album has something for everyone.

The standout track "Riverdance Revolution" takes the classic Riverdance sound and gives it a modern twist, with pulsating beats and electrifying fiddles that will have you tapping your feet in no time. Meanwhile, "Guinness and Good Times" brings a mix of lively jigs and soulful ballads that perfectly capture the essence of a night out in Dublin.

While some tracks may veer into the realm of cliché, such as "Leprechaun Rock," where the lyrics border on cheesy, overall the album manages to strike a balance between tradition and innovation. The mix of artists, ranging from established names to up-and-coming talents, adds a fresh perspective to the age-old genre of Irish music.

Overall, "Absolutely Irish" is a fun and vibrant celebration of Irish music that will have you reaching for your dancing shoes. So, grab a pint of Guinness, put on this album, and let the music transport you to the rolling hills and lively pubs of the Emerald Isle. Sláinte!
