Description

With her rootsy Americana sound and modern country edge, Sionán delivers everything she represents: honest storytelling, heartfelt ballads, and country-pop melodies built to move. It’s the beginning of a new voice that speaks straight to the heart, and it’s only the beginning. From a recent debut at Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Café to a showcase slot at industry-tastemaker event Your Roots Are Showing - and with plenty of tracks to boot - Sionán’s debut single ‘No Revival’ leads the charge as she stakes her claim in the new era of country storytelling.

With a hook that teases its unforgettable chorus and a guitar growling like a lone outlaw, ‘No Revival’ rides in like a scene torn from a Modern Western, setting the stage for a raw, emotionally charged story of betrayal, heartbreak, and the bitter truth of romance unravelling. Stripped-back verses and authentic, roots-driven delivery pull you into the moment, before the powerhouse chorus kicks in - a blend of stomping backbeats, gunslinger riffs, and biting lyrical honesty. It’s tongue-in-cheek, sophisticated, and deeply felt - part Carly Pearce "Truck on Fire", part Miley’s “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart,” - the track then seamlessly shifts into a brass-fuelled Latin rhythm section with a New Orleans jazz flair, akin to Beyoncés "Daddy Lessons", and leaves the listener with a lasting impression long after the last note lingers.

Written from the real-life moment of walking in on a partner, drunk at a bar and in someone else’s arms, Sionán shares: “It’s the gut-punch of realising someone you trusted has broken that bond. The song came from a moment of devastation, but also from the strength it takes to face that kind of truth head-on. For me, writing ‘No Revival’ was about turning heartbreak into something that could speak to others who’ve been there."

One for both the girls and the boys, 'No Revival' will connect with anyone who's ever been blindsided when the drinks are flowing & the truth comes out, caught in that all-too-familiar twist of love gone wrong. Think Yellowstone meets Virgin River for the backdrop; it delivers that modern Western edge with emotional depth.

A standout debut sure to resonate with fans of the rising new-wave modern country movement, 'No Revival' is out on all platforms now.
