Sinéad Harnett is an Irish-Thai singer and songwriter, and her main genre of music is soul. Harnett has just debuted her single on October 12, 2018, “Body” on the YouTube channel “COLORS,” a channel dedicated to spotlighting on-the-rise soul singers. This song takes you on her journey through a tough relationship in which she can’t leave her lover because she loves him too much.

In the beginning of the song she sings, “I tried to wean you off. I tried to leave… Goodbye can’t seem to find my mouth in anyway,” as she describes how this guy she sings about is a drug to her and that she can’t be without him.

The lightness in her voice almost makes it easier to relate to the internal conflict that she has going on within the song. Harnett sings about how she knows being with her lover is a mistake, but she stays with him anyway and she puts up a front to everyone as if she has let that “man go,” but no, she didn’t. In the song she sings, “I pretend to my friends in the meantime or they’ll tell me that I’m a fool. But I wouldn’t be able to feel love if it wasn’t for breaking rules.” She acknowledges that she is putting herself in a vulnerable situation when she says to her lover, “I’m definitely crazy. Guess I’m willing to burn if you’re the one who comes to save me.”

This is so sweet and amazing that it brings tears to my eyes because no one else has faith in her relationship with this person but her. She puts herself out there just to see if he has the same faith as she does. Most likely, he doesn’t, but she does it anyway because that’s how much she loves him.

The the beginning of the chorus is, “I’ll give you my body, just don’t tell nobody.” This might sound crazy because she’s trusting an untrustworthy person with her innermost being and expects him to keep it to himself. But at the same time, love doesn’t always make sense, and Harnett really captures that in this first line. Her voice is so smooth that you forget that she is making foolish decisions, and you end up supporting her logic—just like I’m doing right now.

This is a great song and Sinéad Harnett is a great singer songwriter. The poetic devices she uses throughout the lines of the song just makes it worth listening to. When you get tired of listening to music with no meaning turn on some Sinéad Harnett and she’ll put some in your life.
