Cathleen Ireland Shines with New Single In The City

Pittsburgh’s Cathleen Ireland is back with a new single entitled In The City, and it brings together soulful vocal delivery, modern production, and a first-person narrative. Ireland can blend groove with feeling, and In The City lets us hear once again how her art will extend far beyond Pittsburgh.

Produced alongside multi-platinum producer Ryan M. Tedder, the song has a smooth and polished sound that would not be out of place on a commercial radio station, while still keeping the authenticity that we have come to expect from Ireland's canon. The beat is dynamic without getting boring; it keeps a smooth feel while also creating lively rhythms with a melodic undercurrent that opens space for Ireland to be heard. It is no surprise that her vocal performance has so much richness and texture with lyrics that capture the thrill and painful experiences of city life, a place of amusement, anonymity, and movement.

What is remarkable about In The City is its ability to sit comfortably in two enigmatic places: being cinematic, while also being intimate. The hooks are radio-ready, catchy, but also emotional enough for a late-night headphone listen. 

With a career already dotted with songwriting honors, international accolades, and more than 70 film festival selections for her videos, Cathleen Ireland demonstrates with this release that she is still growing, still challenging the box. In The City is not merely a song; it is a declaration of where she is now: empowered, experienced, and willing to continue to reach up.
