Debut Single - Forfeit
Forfeit, Feibhár’s (fiver, like the money) debut single, is out now! Available on all streaming platforms and online stores. Originally a poem, Forfeit examines what it means to move on from that which you are passionate about, and the pain and grief of losing it even if you always knew you would. It is about taking a chance against your better judgement, hoping against hope, and the crushing disappointment we can all identify with, when we're left without the fulfilling happy ending we were promised. Forfeit was arranged by Feibhár and the vocals were recorded in Station Studios in Balbriggan, Dublin.

“Forfeit is a clear statement of intent from Kilkenny songwriter Feibhár. It’s a brooding, shape shifting song that highlights her lyric and engaging vocal style. Eschewing guitar in favour of sumptuous synth layers, the songs stays with you, reminding you of how truly great it is. It is a staggering debut single and heralds the arrival of a rare talent.”
- Martin Bridgeman, Ceol Anocht, KCLR96FM
“It marks a different departure from a lot of the positive aspirational messages that are prevalent in music currently. A beautiful piano driven track, Feibhár’s voice is ghostly and transcendent throughout the track, successfully drawing in the listener from the start as we are presented with raw and emotional lyrics. The songwriter makes use of synth interjections near the conclusion of the track to continue to gradually build up a sense of dread and isolation that is an excellent compliment to the sentiment of the song.”
- Michilín, Covert Music Club
“I love that she sings in her own accent and doesn’t compromise at any point.”
- Emma Langford, Songwriter
