Press quote for “The Timing“, Hotpress magazine: … Kilkenny-born, Dublin-based artist Antanna has released his new single ‘The Timing’, blending folk, indie and alternative music. This mixture of folk-pop and strong reflective, emotional elements add texture to Antenna’s vocal storytelling. The track centres on the theme of a relationship, which despite the strong connection, is unfortunately affected by circumstance, or “bad timing”.' With warm acoustic guitar, smooth vocals and a subtle string arrangement, the tender folk ballad captures bitter-sweet realisation and feelings of frustration with ‘fate’. – Hotpress
