Kyabram With Kisses Xx (Uk) [LP], Declan O'Rourke, Vinyl

"Kyabram with Kisses XX" includes exclusive Smart Vinyl technology and two brand new guest recordings by Paul Weller and Imelda May. In 2004, Declan O'Rourke released 'Since Kyabram', his debut album, capturing the heart of the Irish music scene and quickly garnering critical acclaim, earning gold, platinum, and double platinum certifications. Two decades later, to celebrate the iconicmilestone, Declan is releasing 'Kyabram with Kisses XX' a very special Record Store Day limited edition Smart Vinyl twist on the original album. A hand-picked selection of O'Rourke's own favourites from the album make up SIDE A, while special guest contributions either replace or contribute to other tracks from the album on Side B, with never-heard-before bonus material peppering the journey throughout. As well as cleverly flagging the significant anniversary of the album through the use of roman numerals, 'Kyabram with Kisses XX', the title of the RSD offering is a nod to the love and appreciation shown by fellow artists for Declan's work both prior to and since Kyabram was originally released. But moreover, the capitalised kisses contained within the title represent two stellar new endorsements of Declan's songs via special guest interpretations of Galileo and Love Is The Way by Paul Weller and Imelda May, respectively. Both recordings are exclusive to this RSD limited edition. Not available anywhere else, the Smart Vinyl content that accompanies 'Kyabram with Kisses XX' promises a rich digital exploration of O'Rourke's creative process and, through unreleased demos, alternate takes, and behind-the-scenes footage, offers an intimate look at the journey behind his debut. Collectively, the LP and Smart Vinyl contents of 'Kyabram with Kisses XX' provide a rare insight into the album and music that has defined O'Rourke's career. Each LP has a unique NFT code which unlocks the content and grants access to this digital platform. Declan is the first Irish recording Artist to release a Smart Vinyl album!
