BREN BERRY’s ‘Come Alive.’ Glorious sun-kissed harmonies for a summer of love

DUBLIN-based BREN BERRY has just released his latest single, ‘Come Alive,’ a beautiful song, full of glorious hooks and sun-kissed harmonies, the perfect soundtrack to a summer love.

“It’s about that magical feeling of a perfect day with friends and family – the sun is shining, everyone is in a great mood and loving being together, celebrating and listening to music,” he said. “I love that feeling of coming home, and feeling alive when you fly back into Dublin, and you see the Poolbeg Towers and the city lights.”

Berry was a guitarist in the John Peel endorsed ‘Revelino,’ a ‘90s guitar band who released three albums and received much critical acclaim, if not the accompanying international success. However, in October 2020, the band self-released a remastered vinyl edition of their 1994 debut album which went straight to Number 1 in the Irish Indie Charts.
 
Enthused by the love shown for Revelino’s music, Berry dusted off his Rickenbacker and began to channel his reflections into intimate songs. 

“Songwriting has always been an elusive mystery to me and I could never find my own singing voice,” he added. “On Bob Dylan’s 80th birthday, rather than murdering one of his songs, I was hit by the idea that a more suitable way to honour the occasion would be to try, somehow, to finally crack the songwriting code. Something clicked, and once that world opened up for me, the songs started to flow.” 

‘Come Alive,’ was produced by Berry and Gavin Glass in Orphan Studios, and mixed and mastered by Daniel James Goodwin in The Isokon, New York and Virginia.
