Dublin, Ireland alternative collective Inhaler delivers a fast-paced, energetic, and entertaining single with “We Have to Move On.”

London-based Dublin singer-singer Louis Brennan impresses on ballad “Airport Hotel,” a single from his debut album, Dead Capital (February 23, 2018).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Up-and-coming Dublin singer/songwriter Dermot Kennedy captivates on his heartbroken single, “Moments Passed.”

All in all, 'Songs of Innocence' is a good U2 album, but not a truly, great U2 album. It has its worthwhile moments nonetheless.
