2011 X Factor UK contestant Janet Devlin is back with a new single titled “Confessional”.
The folk-tinged track, written by Janet with Nathan Thomas and produced by Jonathan Quarmby (James Arthur, Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker), is the title track from the singer’s upcoming second album.
About it, the Irish songstress said: “If it doesn’t sound like an obvious single, it’s because it’s not meant to. It’s a glimpse of what’s to come. I’ve essentially created a concept album, everything is on the table and laid bare. There’s going to be nowhere to hide! Everyone is going to get a chance to listen and understand, and I hope my story resonates with people. Consider this release as the perfect first piece of a larger puzzle”.
“Confessional” album is set to be released on April 2020.
Lyrics:
There’s a secret on the tip of my tongue
And it’s burning the hole between my lungs
There’s no grace for what I’ve done
But I must face what I’ve become
Hiding six feet under has always been my way
And though the honest hurts
The lying was the worst
Can’t take it to the grave
This is my confessional
The things that I’ve buried low
This is my confessional
Please, will you redeem my soul?
Holy water on the tip of my tongue
There’s so much sin for just 21
Hear my penance and all I’ve done
This self-destructive war I’ve won
I’ve come out of under to die another day
And though the honest hurts
The crying was the worst
Now tell me I’ll be safe
This is my confessional
The things that I’ve buried low
This is my confessional
Please, will you redeem my soul?
Throw stones if you want to (My confessional)
Break bones if you want to (My confessional)
That high horse have a good view (My confessional)
I confess
