Aoife Doyle: Infinitely Clear – A gorgeous heart-warming gem

Cormac Larkin

Aoife Doyle is an artist on a steep upward curve. Her first two albums, This Time the Dream’s On Me (2013) and Clouds (2017) were well-received and charted the Wicklow-born vocalist’s progress from a fine interpreter of other people’s songs to a composer and lyricist who was beginning to find her own voice.

Infinitely Clear, however, is on a whole other level, a gorgeous confection of jazz, folk, soul and country that will surely bring her the attention she deserves and bears comparison – in sound, in finesse, and in its potential to make a star of its creator – with Norah Jones’s debut album. Songs like They Say, Love Conquers All and Strength to be Strong, already released as singles and getting plenty of mainstream domestic airplay, glow with inner warmth and conviction, with more than enough to satisfy the heart and the hips.
