Dublin singer songwriter Rory Gillanders has released his new single, Soulless World. We asked him the BIG questions . . .
The song was born out of the pandemic and features Dublin-based vocalist Sara Jane and Brazilian vocalist Deyse Menzes.
Speaking about the video for the new track, Rory says, "I wanted to portray a vision of a soulless, dystopian world, a visual representation of what I was feeling when I wrote the track."
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
I only picked up the guitar and started writing songs properly when I was out of work with a back injury. I lived in London for five and a half years. I'm a coffee addict, ha!
