Bobby Maguire by Bobby Maguire
Independent singer/songwriter Bobby Maguire presents his self-titled album described as a heartwarming, painstakingly curated collection of brilliant, sharp songwriting.
Upbeat, yet emotive, listeners will be buoyed by the sweet lyricism in Black Dog and Get What You Take, and compelled to the dancefloor by tracks Ifs and Maybes and Outta My Head.
Recorded with Cairns-based Kris Hutchinson, with a sound evocative of Thirsty Merc and Bernard Fanning, the album is a coming of age story, as Bobby describes, “The album follows my musical journey so far, beginning with uplifting tracks Moving to the City and Home which I began writing when I was fifteen. As the album progresses, a more punk rock feel emerges through songs Fight the Fear, Game and The Messenger which mirror battles with identity, dependence and anger. Introspection is also woven through the album with songs like Black Dog which speaks of mental health issues from a friends perspective, as well as Get What You Take which is about accountability for your actions, as well as self acceptance and love.”
