New Single “Fire And Water” Set To Be A Perfect Wedding Dance Song
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Larissa Tormey Returns to Folk/Country Roots with New Single "Fire And Water" – romantic Duet with Norwegian Singer RemyO
Release Date: September 20th, 2024
Irish singer-songwriter Larissa Tormey is set to make a triumphant return to her folk and country roots with the release of her new single, "Fire And Water." The beautiful song, co-written with British songwriters Katharine Brown and Jono Fosh, marks Larissa's return to the spotlight after a brief hiatus from her solo career due to her busy schedule as a songwriter, writing for K-Pop and Eurovision.
This new song features Norwegian singer RemyO in a duet that promises to become a favourite for wedding first dances around the world.
"Fire And Water" showcases the emotive storytelling and melodic charm that Larissa is known for, further enhanced by the inclusion of legendary steel guitar player Sarah Jory from the UK. Sarah’s soulful touch on the steel guitar adds a timeless quality to the track, making it a must-hear for lovers of folk and country music.
The Story Behind "Fire And Water"
The journey of "Fire And Water" began when Larissa signed up for a songwriting course with DWB Publishing in the UK. During this course, she connected with Katharine Brown, a topliner and lyricist, and Jono Fosh, a singer-songwriter and producer. Together, they naturally created this classy country duet, a genre that aligns perfectly with Larissa’s reputation as a beloved country/folk singer-songwriter in Ireland and abroad. The collaboration didn’t stop there. Recently, Larissa attended the RENA Eurovision Songwriting Event, the largest of its kind in Europe. One of her songs was selected by MGP to be on hold for a possible Norwegian Eurovision entry—an impressive feat considering the camp produced over 150 songs, with only 17 chosen for consideration. This event also provided Larissa with the opportunity to forge new friendships and connections, including with the talented Norwegian singer-songwriter RemyO. Upon returning to Ireland, Larissa was in search of a male singer to collaborate with her on "Fire And Water." RemyO, who had become a friend and creative partner during the Eurovision event, immediately agreed to join her on this new release, bringing his distinctive voice to the duet. The collaboration between Larissa and RemyO, enhanced by the legendary steel guitar player Sarah Jory from the UK, results in a track that is poised to become a favorite for wedding first dances around the world.
"Fire And Water" was inspired by the delicate balance of love, which Larissa likens to the interplay between these two elements—fire symbolizing passion and water representing calm. This idea took root as Larissa reflected on the enduring relationships she has witnessed throughout her life. She realized that the most profound loves often blend fiery intensity with soothing tranquillity, a duality she wanted to capture in her music.
