Ailbhe Reddy has announced details surrounding her third album ‘Kiss Big’ which lands on 30 January 2026 via Don Giovanni Records. “It’s about the aftershock of a break up,” Reddy explains. “That liminal space where you’re equal parts sad, hopeful, terrified and probably a bit delusional.”
The 9-track album features recent single ‘Align’ and new teaser track ‘So Quickly, Baby’ which sees The Dublin-born London-based artists working with producer Tommy McLaughlin (Soak, Pillow Queens, Villagers) once again.
“This is the meltdown track. The album’s neurotic heartbeat. A tug-of-war between grace and chaos. The verses attempt to be the bigger person while the choruses unveil the question at the heart of it, “How are you already fine and when will I be?” says Reddy speaking of ‘So Quickly, Baby’ which will no doubt appeal to fans of Julia Jacklin and Lucy Dacus.
“It’s about the push-pull between wanting to be gracious and wanting to scream. That weird neurotic whiplash when someone seems totally fine while you feel like you’ve been dropped in the middle of nowhere without a map.”
Ailbhe Reddy has announced a hometown show in The Button Factory, Dublin for May 2026. Limited tickets for her New York and Philadelphia shows next month are on sale now. Details below. ‘Kiss Big is available to pre-oder here.
