"... plain devastating storytelling..."
That Eric Alper
"...stunning tribute..."
Hot Press
Helen O’Shea has released “Last Day of Our Acquaintance,” a duet with Australian Golden Guitar Award-winning artist Brad Butcher, honouring the late Sinéad O’Connor. The track, originally from O’Connor’s landmark 1990 album ‘I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got’, is the latest single from O’Shea’s upcoming tribute album ‘Songs In The Key Of O’, arriving May 1. Hot Press has already called it “a stunning tribute.”
The performance earns that praise. O’Shea’s interpretation leans into the song’s trance-like arrangement and plain, devastating storytelling, while Butcher’s restrained delivery adds a layer of shared heartbreak that deepens the original’s quiet devastation. Produced by two-time Grammy winner Marc Swersky, the track features strings from Nathan Bishop and Nicole Scorsone, drums from Aaron Comess, and backing vocals from Brielle Brown, Michelle Moore, and Lauren O’Shea.
Thank you Hot Press!!!!

"The song's trance-like musical arrangement amplifies the emotional weight of the moment. This sense of quiet devastation is further deepened by O'Shea's interpretation, which features the restrained, performance of Brad Butcher. Butcher's understated delivery brings a shared heartbreak to the song."
Out now everywhere!!!!

I'm so honored and excited to introduce @eddieleeburkes , singer/songwriter and wonderful human. We were introduced about 1 year ago and immediately found connection in music and life. Eddie's story is a powerful journey through life,addiction, spirituality, sobriety and the want to make life better for himself and his family. On top of that he wanted to create music that would inspire others.
Through multiple conversations stories and songs poured out and with this song in particular collaborating with @briellebrown came up with his debut song, "The Harbor", a conversation with God asking for forgiveness and redemption. It was an honor to Produce this as well as lead a brilliant group of artists through this journey!
Let his journey begin and hope you'll take the listen and enjoy.
