Irish singer/songwriter Sorcha Richardson has shared her video for her new single “Don’t Talk About It,” off of her forthcoming debut album First Prize Bravery, due out this fall, and we are pleased to premiere it. The video is a lyric video that features a slow zoom on an expectant looking Richardson. The song itself is a buoyant but cutting piece of razor-sharp pop that merges sincerity with sarcasm over a breezy melody. Check out the video below.

In a press release accompanying the single, Richardson had this to say about the track: “It’s a song about avoiding conflict and trying to keep the peace, no matter how much you end up sacrificing in order to do so. Sometimes it feels much easier to convince yourself that you’re happy in a relationship, or in a city, or in a job, than to admit to yourself that you’re not, and to have to drag that problem out the light and deal with it. But that never works, and when you leave a problem alone, 99% of the time it just grows and grows until you can’t ignore it. I’ve learned that lesson the hard way, more than once. This is a song about what you end up losing when you smile and hold your tongue, but also what an achievement it is when you do learn to confront a situation that scares you​​​​​​​.”
