Sprints by Niamh Barry
Sprints’ new single ‘Up & Comer’ has accompanied the news.
Next year should start well thanks to confirmation that Sprints will release their highly anticipated debut album Letter To Self on January 5th, 2024.
“Up & Comer is a pretty dry take on a fear and self consciousness that has been ruminating in me since I picked up an instrument. This innate fear that maybe I would always be ‘good for a girl’, but would I ever actually be great?,” Karla Chubb has said of the lead track.
It’s an invisible narrative that has been constructed by the doubts and negativity I’ve been fed by others, as well my own imposter syndrome. It’s a song that takes aim at the idea that some of these traits and behaviours may almost be hereditary, and instead of letting that continue to hold me back, finally break free of the expected, embrace the anger and let it rip. The only way is forward.
