Damien Dempsey - Almighty Love
Review by Valentina Grieco
Almighty Love, the fifth studio album by Irish singer-songwriter Damien Dempsey, is a powerful and emotional collection of songs that showcases his unique blend of traditional Irish folk music, rock, and reggae influences. Produced by John Reynolds, the album features Dempsey's distinctive voice and heartfelt lyrics, as well as guest appearances by Sinead O'Connor and Dido.
The album opens with the title track, "Almighty Love," a stirring anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Dempsey's passionate vocals are backed by a driving beat and soaring strings, creating a sense of urgency and hope that resonates throughout the album.
Other standout tracks include "Chris and Stevie," a tribute to two friends who died tragically, and "Canadian Geese," a haunting ballad about migration and loss. Dempsey's lyrics are deeply personal and often political, touching on themes of love, loss, and social justice.
