Edwina van Kuyk Unveils New Single ‘Find My Way’ Ft. Martello

Published

Irish pop-soul riser Edwina van Kuyk is closing out her breakout year with a winter balm of a single, “Find My Way (ft. Martello),” set for release on Tuesday, December 2. After spending 2024 quietly but confidently becoming one of Limerick’s most compelling new voices, she’s stepping into the colder months with a track that leans into the stillness of the season—warm, reflective, and unmistakably hers.

The new single arrives on the heels of her EP Feels So Right, a project that pushed van Kuyk from promising newcomer to national presence. The record landed her a performance on Ireland’s 6 O’Clock Show and spun its title track into RTÉ 2FM’s coveted Track of the Week slot, while radio stations from 98FM to Today FM locked onto her smoky tone and hook-driven songwriting. It’s the kind of year that quietly reshapes careers, and van Kuyk seems fully aware of the momentum she’s carrying into winter.

Long before the airplay and televised slots, though, van Kuyk was already carving out a reputation as a collaborator with range. She’s shared writing rooms and stages with artists across Ireland and beyond, moving fluidly between intimate acoustic sessions at Pepper Canister Church and Whelan’s to Nashville showcases at the Bluebird Café. That collaborative spirit surfaces again on “Find My Way,” co-written with Martello and brought to life by producer Herman Franke, with Cian O’Donoghue on mix and master duties—an indie-leaning dream team threading warmth through every layer.

But at its core, “Find My Way” is van Kuyk at her most vulnerable. “I feel like this time of year can be really hard for a lot of people,” she says, noting the emotional inventory that late autumn quietly demands. “This song is about the places we find home, and the people that make it.” It’s a sentiment that hits with seasonal gravity: as the year cools and the nights lengthen, van Kuyk offers a track that feels like a hand on the shoulder, guiding listeners back to themselves.

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point

It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.

The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.

What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.

The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.

Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.

“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
