This took me by surprise. Loved it, and loved the accent coming through in the vocals. Look forward to hearing more from you.

My wife put me on to this. For me its music at its best. It's hit me in a way that takes me close to crying while smiling inside. I finally realised why it makes me feel like this.. it's because it's pure. It's sincere, It's from the heart. You CAN'T buy that. That's Art. That's why it stands out. BTW we are in our fifties, I'm from the country. My wife is from Dublin. This makes us proud of our capital city and its people.

Love it, lived in Dublin in the eighties. Chaotic but brilliant times. Regards from Cork.

I'm a middle aged indie indie/rock kind of guy but for some reason Youtube algorithms directed me to this video. What a great tune! I love the way you can clearly hear the Irish twang in Gemma's vocals and the fact the song/video is about her love for the community she comes from. Great work by everybody involved.

The likes of Gemma, For Those I Love, Kojaque and soooo many more are changing the Dublin music scene. The love of their community is flowing through every song and it’s so amazing to hear that raw Dublin representation. Yous all deserve the world and to become huge! I hope that once all the mayhem in the world ends yous get the chance to go out there and succeed 💚

Love the fact that you can still hear her dub accent 💙💙

I've voted mainly because this is song and E.P is fkn ace. I say without a doubt Gemma is the most important artist in Ireland or wherever today. I sent this to Mike skinner btw. Original Irish material 👌

Love how Irish this is! Never really properly get the videos from the UK or US. So great to see us being represented!

[BoSSLeVeLs]

This got a oldskool summer vibe to it sounds like a classic ⭐️

[karlbrowne]

This is gorgeous. Full of pride and a love of community. It even brought a little tear to my eye..

[scorpiosqueenkitchen]

Brilliant tunes such old skool feel grew up in Dublin living in Wexford reminds me so much as child/teen, wish al the best in the future x kinda sad now there’s no community where I am now no one talks to anyone and no friends

[chaaaargh]
