Free Flight Records’ Irish prodigy Darren Kiely has released his brand new single, “Late Texts,” which is out now.
“Late Texts” was produced by frequent collaborator David Baron (Lana Del Rey, Lumineers, Shawn Mendes) and written by Kiely and Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan), and showcases more of Kiely’s relatable lyrics and soaring vocals.
“‘Late Texts’ is about being away from people you love and how hard it is to ask them to wait for you. It describes the guilt that comes with asking people to wait for you and the fear that they may not,” Kiely says not he new single.
