Leo Bear

After a recent run of heartfelt, glistening new tracks, Sinead Harnett is back with new track, ‘Leo Bear’ – a song dedicated to her nephew, Leo, and another primer to a much anticipated full-length album project due later this year.

Inspired by her love for her nephew, the track constitutes “one of the most emotion-provoking” songs Sinead has ever written. “Whenever I hear it, I choke up because of what it signifies for me”, she goes on to explain. “It’s all about how magical life became when he was born. He was very premature, which was a massive shock for his mum and all of us, and we’d never felt a love quite like it before.” Pure and totally stripped-back, ‘Leo Bear’ again shines a spotlight on Sinead’s powerful, personal and emotional songwriting, which has been a defining feature of her recent output.

The accompanying official video, directed by Sinead herself alongside Rosie Matheson and shot home-video style, offers a candid look inside her life with Leo, taking in days at the park, family time at home and bags of warm, smiley energy.
