Pop/folk singer-songwriter Darren Kiely releases his latest track, “Slow Decay,” today. Written by Kiely and Gabe Simon, the heartbreaking song struggles to leave something behind and fight to let it go.
“'Slow Decay' came from a place of holding on to things and people that you know won't come back.” Kiely said. “I'm excited for people to hear it! I hope it helps you let go of what you are holding on to.”
“Slow Decay” is Kiely’s first new music of the year following her debut EP, Lost, which he released last fall. Her unique presentation of folk-infused pop and lush storytelling, echoing the backdrop of the Irish countryside where she grew up, is at the forefront of Lost. Kiely solo wrote four of the project's seven tracks and co-wrote the other three. The EP explores the triumphant war of overcoming self-doubt, fighting to find yourself, questioning emotions, and searching for answers. Lost features new track “Mom & Dad”, which debuted in the Top 40 of the Irish Singles Chart and also took it to the Top 5 on the Irish Homegrown Chart, as well as fan favorite “Sunrise”.

Kiely took his new music on tour last fall, stopping to headline shows in Boston and New York before bringing his THE ROAD HOME TOUR to his native Ireland in November. With stops in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick, the Irish leg of the tour sold out the same day it went on sale. Following his headlining tour, Kiely toured Europe with the 502. Kiely is currently on his headline THE LOST TOUR where he will stop in major cities across North America including Dallas, Denver, Nashville, Seattle, Vancouver and others.

Inspired by influences such as Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and Noah Kahan, Kiely has mastered his own distinctive sound while attracting fans around the world. With new music in the works, the Irish singer-songwriter will hit the ground running in 2024.
