A dream within a dream.
Experimental Cork artist Kelly Doherty, aka Gadget and the Cloud, excels in crafting ambient soundscapes to lose one’s inhibitions in.
As she herself puts it; these are sad songs to dance to. In that vein, ‘Keep You’, the second Gadget and the Cloud single of the year so far, carries that idea forward.
There’s even a shiny remix by Amsterdam-based Irish producer Kobina that’s worth checking out, too. But first, the song proper:
“‘Keep You’ is about remembering to hold on to moments of hope even in the hardest of times,” says Doherty.
“Every day we’re at the mercy of a constant stream of negative information about the world around us.
“It’s hard to exist when you’re always aware of injustice and hardship and it’s easy to feel hopeless. [The song] is about the struggle to grab on to moments of personal hope when life feels impossible.”
