Stile 13 is a group consisting of thirteen vibrant and talented Irish singers and musicians. Brought together with the aim of producing an album of outstanding songs, written by brothers Gerry and Martin O’ Malley, the album promises to tantalise the eardrums of all that hear it.
Where Were You has been developed over the last three years and the result is a highly eclectic, diverse, and exciting cross-genre album. The album features young (and some not so young!) male and female performers who bring to the mix a range of very different vocal and musical styles. This is particularly apt considering the expanse of themes and subject matter of the songs themselves, ranging from love to loathing and from introspection to celebration. Where Were You has received rave reviews since its release with Hotpress quoting ‘The O’ Malley’s songwriting is intelligent, perceptive and as varied as the rotating cast of band members’, The Evening Herald declaring ‘the album promises to be a hit’ and Road Records describing Where Were You as ‘a nice blend of laid back folksy sounds acoustic pop’.
From the opening lines of the upbeat title track, through the thought-provoking ‘Evangelist’ to the last hypnotic strains of final track ‘Stile 13’, listeners will find an eclectic blend of sounds and styles that will tantalize the senses.
