In the hours before the release of ‘Without Fear,' Kennedy told his fans on social media: “My debut album is almost out, and it feels quite surreal. I don’t want to ramble, but I swear to god I’ve lived every second of this. Every lyric, every gig, every flight, every late night studio session, every decision made. I don’t like when people make noise about themselves, but I have worked so so hard to get to this point. The journey has been incredible so far and it’s only the beginning. I hope you love the album. It belongs to you now. All my love Thank you so much for the support.”
If you’re not a Dermot Kennedy fan yet, you will be soon. He recently announced a North American tour including a stop at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall.
