PINK RABBITS - To Be Loved - LP - Vinyl

LP - Vinyl

Pink Rabbits - the project of songwriter Paul Walsh - has announced the release of his debut album ‘To Be Loved’. Walsh has been steadily building towards this release and working on the album since his debut single in 2021 and played a headline show upstairs in Whelans earlier this summer to mark the release of his most recent single Let It Go. 

Speaking about the album, Walsh said: “It’s been something I’ve been working on for a few years now and I’m feeling both relieved and delighted to be able to finally present it to the world to listen to! I feel it deals with themes that everyone can relate to – love, loss, joy, sadness – and I think there’s a song for everyone on this record.”

The album opens with To Get To You, a song Walsh says is one of his favourites on the record: “I love the drums, how it builds and the message of the song. It’s also one of our favourite songs to perform live. The song is up there with To Be Loved as my own personal favourite. It’s the soul of the album and probably the track that makes all the other songs make sense.”

The Galway native – who works as a TV Sports presenter/reporter with RTE – says finding time to work on and complete the album was tricky, as he moved from a full-time basis with Virgin Media to his current freelance role with RTE:“ The album was recorded at Ciaran Parnell’s studio and involved me fitting in studio time either before or after work. It’s a little bonkers now that I think about it! But weekends weren’t an option so we made it work midweek instead. Thankfully we had most of the hard graft done by the time I felt I needed a change of scenery professionally. Ciaran was brilliant to work with and made the recording process seamless.”
