Dublin’s KK Lewis returns after a four-year hiatus with ‘Pigeon Man’ a tender piano ballad of youthful heartbreak. Lewis assembled a crack team to bring the song to life including Sexy Tadhg on Piano. The track was recorded by Daniel Da Burca (Amble) and mixed by Joseph Rodgers (beabadoobee, Rina Sawayama), and mastered by JHJ (Olivia Dean, Adele, London Grammar) ensuring Pigeon Man has rich and evocative tones.

“This song represents more than just a heartbreak – it’s about growing up. Everyone remembers their first heartbreak, that moment you realise love isn’t the perfect thing you imagined it to be. I remember how lost I felt at the time, having lost friends too, but I also remember how important my girls were. Female friendships soften the heartbreak, the confusion, the rejection – they remind you that you’re not alone,” explains KK Lewis.

“I recorded the song with my good friend Tadhg (Sexy Tadhg), who helped me arrange it and translate that heartbreak-romantic feeling into the piano part. We tracked it pretty much live in a studio up in Dundalk, spending the whole day keeping it minimal and intimate – as if you were hearing it in the room, without being overly produced.”

Over the past year, KK has spent time in the studio crafting a collection of intimate, piano-led tracks in collaboration with Sexy Tadhg,‘Pigeon Man’ leads this new chapter, with a follow-up single, ‘One Step Behind’, set for release in early 2026.
