Press quote for “Say I’m wrong”, Hotpress magazine:
“.. 'Say I'm Wrong' blends indie, folk and alternative music styles. Acoustic guitar, piano layered over a driving bass and quick snare drums makes for a high energy yet softer sound in this exploration of unhealthy relationships” – Hotpress
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
